NICE Guidance
The course ensures healthcare professionals understand their obligations under the NICE guidelines and the new paediatric tariff, and how to meet these when delivering healthcare to this target group of vulnerable individuals.
"Children and young people with type 1 diabetes and their families should be offered timely and ongoing access to mental health professionals because they may experience psychological disturbances (such as anxiety, depression, behavioural and conduct disorders and family conflict) that can impact on the management of diabetes and well-being."
(NICE guidance CG015 Type 1 diabetes: diagnosis and management of type 1 diabetes in children, young people and adults)
