In the absence of the ability to run safe face to face interactive workshops (due to the coronavirus pandemic), we are currently running webinar sessions for some of our workshops, for a maximum of 25 attendees. As a result, we hope to continue to provide high quality interactive training whilst keeping our learners and their families, residents, clients and patients safe and well! The sessions we have run so far have certainly promoted discussion and sharing of experiences amongst the learners!

To support healthcare professionals (in particular registered nurses) working in primary care, community teams (such as district nurses) and those working within the social care sector, we are offering this webinar based 'Insulin Awareness/Update & Injection Technique' workshop as an alternative way to maintain skills and confidence as well as stay up to date. The workshop covers:

• What insulin is and the role it plays in the body

• Why do people with diabetes need insulin?

• The different types of insulin (including an update on newer insulins and other injectable treatments for diabetes)

• The administration of insulin – how and where it can be administered safely (including new devices/needles)

• Storage of insulin

• Health and Safety (Sharp Instruments in Healthcare) Regulations

• Identifying and preventing areas of lipohypertrophy

• Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) and Hyperosmolar Hyperglycaemic State (HHS)

• Q & A sessions

The session will be run an experienced Diabetes Specialist Nurse who also works within the NHS, and will be as interactive as we can make it within the constraints of the virtual environment! There will be plenty of time for Q & As throughout the training.

We have limited the number of places an individual organisation can book to 5 - so that there is opportunity for at least 5 organisations to benefit from this training. If you would like additional places, please email us at info@duetdiabetes.co.uk so that we can register your interest for more places. If places are still available nearer to the date, or when we schedule additional workshop dates, we will be in touch.
