About this course

This course is for health care professionals (e.g. doctors, nurses, pharmacists) working either as generalists or in diabetes care settings.

The qualification may be used by primary care doctors for personal development/ CPD accumulation, and to enable them to set up and enhance their own diabetes specialist services.

For secondary care training doctors, or allied health professionals, a qualification in Quality Diabetes Care could be used to help general career progression or be used to aid a move into specialist diabetes care services either within primary or secondary care.

This qualification is not equivalent to accreditation onto the diabetes medical specialist register e.g. allowing the individual to operate as a diabetes consultant.
