Module NHS-4247:
Diabetes Management

Diabetes Management 2024-25
NHS-4247
2024-25
School of Health Sciences
Module - Semester 1
40 credits
Module Organiser: Heather Bloodworth
Overview

The increased incidence of diabetes presents a considerable challenge to health care professionals employed in the NHS. Currently, 8% of the population (17 years and over) in Wales are known to have diabetes. It is estimated that a further 65,501 individuals have un diagnosed diabetes (PHW, 2022; Diabetes UK, 2022). Only 14.9% of people with type 2 and 30% of people with type 1 achieved the three key outcomes which are: blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol (WAG, 2016) . Government health departments predict that the increase in diabetes and its associated complications will significantly influence the provision of health care and substantially increase NHS expenditure.

The official predictions have led to guidance on how this increase should be managed and a core factor includes the need for health care professionals to remain well informed about diabetes mellitus and engage in continuous professional development in this sphere.

Consequently, the Diabetes Management Module is essential to ensure that those health care professionals working in the field of diabetes are fully au fait with the wealth of contemporary theoretical and practical knowledge relating to the management of the condition and its complications. This will enable them to deliver evidence-based practice when caring for this group of patients.
