THIS COURSE IS FOR ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, PHARMACISTS, NURSES AND DOCTORS.
Diabetes is becoming an increasingly common condition amongst every population group, both in the developed and developing countries. It has a major impact on the physical, psychological and general wellbeing of individuals and their families. It can lead to disabilities, for example blindness, chronic morbidity and mortality through heart disease, stroke and renal failure. Yet, there is evidence that effective treatment can increase life expectancy, reduce the risk of complications and even delay or prevent onset.
This course will prepare you to take an evidence-based approach to diabetic care and will allow you to specialise in an area of your choice. It has been developed with clinical colleagues and blends the theoretical perspectives with practicalities of implementing an effective diabetic care programme. This course emphasises the effective use of multidisciplinary teams in problem solving and patient care.
Contents
This course is modular and can be studied on a full-time or part-time basis. It can be studied entirely at QMU, entirely by distance learning, or a mix of both for your convenience.
