Education for Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes and You has been designed as a locally delivered structured education programme, with courses coordinated and delivered through Primary Care Networks (PCNs). As such, Cornwall Primary Care Training Hub is unable to accept patient referral lists or book patients directly onto courses.
A dedicated Diabetes and You webpage includes the Practice Information Pack containing everything you need to know about delivering the programme locally, including funding arrangements, educator requirements, booking processes, and programme resources.
If your PCN is not currently delivering Diabetes and You, or you would like to discuss establishing local delivery, please get in touch. We'd be delighted to support you in getting started. Funding, educator development, programme resources, and ongoing support are all available to help practices and PCNs deliver the programme locally.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss the programme further, please don't hesitate to contact the Diabetes and You Team via the Cornwall Primary Care Training Hub Workforce email address – kernowhealthcic.workforce@nhs.net
Healthy Living is the first nationally commissioned digital structured education programme. It is an evidence-based, self-directed, web-based programme, and employs behaviour change models and nudge techniques to support users to take action. It provides users with a variety of tools and information to help them better manage their type 2 diabetes, live a healthy life and achieve good wellbeing.
Practices can refer participants to the programme by providing the registration page: https://www.healthyliving.nhs.uk/ where the individual can create an account.
