HIEC - Diabetes Educational Workshops
Due to popular demand, the Educational Workshops are back! This educational program is to provide on-going education for the primary care colleagues (Practice Nurses, Practice Managers, GPs and other healthcare professionals interested in managing diabetes patients). This year’s workshops will be supported by Astra Zeneca and Sanofi Aventis (please note that they have no input into these workshops or their content).
The workshops are purposefully designed (incorporating your requests) to be interactive and will provide "hands-on" experience. You are welcome to bring case studies on "challenging patients".
Those who have attended previous workshops are welcome to attend these workshops as the programme has changed.
Places for each workshop are capped at 20 on first come basis. A certificate of attendance will be provided for your CPD requirements.
