This module offers qualified health practitioners working with people living with diabetes the opportunity to extend the breadth, depth and complexity of their individual erudition and practice. Critically examining the knowledge, evidence and competencies to work at a higher level of practice to respond to prevention of complication of diabetes, and / or active evidence based management to prolong independence and promote quality of life.

This module examines the effects of diabetes related complications in terms of glycaemic management related to the effects of hypoglycaemia, ketoacidosis and/or hyperglycaemic hyperosmolar syndrome. Also, the incidence, evidence and effective management of diabetes related complications presenting as neuropathic, cardiovascular and psychological complications are critically examined.

Diabetes related complications are costly in terms of effects on quality of life, families, dependence, intrusion and treatment access. Additionally, economic, social and societal effects of early disability or individuals requiring intensive treatments for complications. Practitioners have a unique role to inform and support individuals to learn about their diabetes, to promote informed decisions and effective self-management and aim to avoid complications.

This module offers qualified healthcare practitioners working with children & young people with diabetes, the opportunity to extend the breadth, depth and complexity of their individual practice. To equip them with the knowledge and competencies to work at a higher level of practice to respond and, as such, reflect the strategic direction of Children and Young Persons Diabetes Care Services nationally and internationally. This module provides a comprehensive postgraduate learning experience that fosters the use of problem solving, using solution focussed techniques with children, young people and their families.

Emerging models from international research highlights a requirement for a more flexible and highly skilled healthcare workforce. Diabetes care is a national and international priority due to increasing prevalence (World Health Organisation, (WHO), 2016).

There is an increasing importance that children, young people and their families acquire the knowledge and skills to enable to self-manage diabetes successfully and thus help to prevent the costly complications of this condition (NICE NG17, NG18, 2015). They can only gain the self-management knowledge and skills if they themselves are trained by well-educated, knowledgeable and competent practitioners in diabetes care (NHS Diabetes, 2012).

This is of particular importance for infants, children & young people (0-25 years) diagnosed with type 1 in the UK and across Europe. The increase in prevalence is 3-5% per annum and additionally the increasing numbers of type 2 and syndromic diabetes. Diabetes is a lifelong condition with increasing evidence to suggest that effective care from diagnosis is of paramount importance in avoiding short, medium and long-term complications.

This module offers qualified health practitioners working with people living with diabetes the opportunity to extend the breadth, depth and complexity of their individual erudition and practice in relation to the promotion and inclusion of suitable physical activity advice and engagement that is person centred and culturally appropriate. Utilising an interdisciplinary approach this will support individuals and communities to understand more about the role of physical activity in their health and diabetes prevention or care.

Type 1 diabetes is a challenging condition to manage for various physiological and behavioural reasons. Regular exercise is important, but management of different forms of physical activity can be particularly difficult for both the individual with type 1 diabetes and the practitioner. Regular exercise can improve health and wellbeing, and can help individuals to achieve their target lipid profile, body composition, fitness and glycaemic goals. However, several additional barriers to exercise can exist for a person with type 1 diabetes, including fear of hypoglycaemia, loss of glycaemic control, and inadequate knowledge around exercise management.
