New diabetes prevention e-learning

Working with the Royal College of General Practitioners, the NHS Diabetes Programme team have developed an NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) e-learning module, which has now been launched on the RCGP learning platform: https://elearning.rcgp.org.uk/nhsdpp.

The free 30 minute e-module is aimed at GPs, Practice Nurses and other Practice staff. The content covers what Non-Diabetic Hyperglycaemia (NDH) is, what the NHS DPP is; how it works and who is eligible. There are also some basics on motivational interviewing. The aim is to provide healthcare professionals with the tools and information they need to make quality referrals into the programme.

The course is free and CPD-accredited. It can be accessed by creating a free account on the RCGP Learning site.
