North West Paediatric Diabetes Network - Psychological support
The network has set itself two aims in this work stream. These are:
- By
April 2013 all members of the North
West Network will have accessed training re mental
health assessment for young people and parents.
- By
April 2013 all members of the North
West Network will have access to validated mental
health assessment tools for young people and families.
Motivational interviewing training for clinical staff, sponsored by Sanofi, has been run so that clinicians are better able to support their patients to make changes to their lifestyles and manage their diabetes care. This and other training courses will be run over the coming year to meet the first of these two aims. Work is just starting to identify an assessment tool to meet the second aim. If one cannot be found nationally then work will start on creating a tool for the network to endorse and use.
