Improving safety at scale via concise, impactful diabetes training for all health and social care staff

Abstract

Diabetes 10 Point Training (D10PT) was developed collaboratively due to evidence that there is an urgent ongoing need for diabetes training among all levels of health care workers.

A good understanding of diabetes is key to patient safety across the entire patient pathway including health and social care sectors.

D10PT is translatable across all care settings with ability to reach staff and now, utilising the Cambridge Diabetes Education Programmes (CDEP) online platform, is available at scale and provides frontline staff with readily‐accessible basic diabetes training that is highly relevant to their role.

We want to share our experiences of providing high‐quality, standardised and scalable, but appropriately targeted diabetes training to frontline non‐diabetes specialist staff and the impact it has on the outcomes of people living with all types of diabetes. Copyright © 2023 John Wiley & Sons.
