Summary
The Diabetes Care and Management programme is designed to provide registered health professionals with the knowledge and skills required to provide regular care to people at risk of or with diabetes.
The Midland Health region has identified Type 2 and increasingly Type 1 diabetes as a significant health concern, particularly for Māori and Pacific Island adults. In addition, cardiovascular risk assessment is an identified Ministry of health target. The prevention and treatment of diabetes is a focus of the Strategic Plans for the District Health Boards providing opportunities for you in this rewarding area.
Students living a long distance from campus may need to download Zoom onto their laptop or device. If this is the case, your tutor will advise you.
What you will learn
The programme, informed by the National Diabetes Nursing Knowledge and Skills Framework (2009), provides the health professional with an increased blend of knowledge and skills required to competently and confidently plan care for a person with diabetes / cardiovascular disease and provide regular care to people at risk of, or those who experience, diabetes. Health professionals will develop critical thinking through the exploration of problem-based learning, evidenced-based theory, reflective and reflexive practice perspectives.
