NHS Diabetes has developed a suite of four free e-learning modules to support you in ensuring diabetes is treated safely.

Each module allows users to log on, complete the course, take an on-line test and print a certificate if passed. They take 30-60 minutes to complete but do not have to be completed in one sitting. There is an assessment at the end with a pass rate of 75% to gain a certificate.

These modules have been developed in response to the 2010 National Patient Safety Agency Rapid Response Report.  Over 5,000 patient safety incidents were reported between 2003 and 2009 in England and Wales.¹

Insulin safety training is now a requirement for all those who prescribe, prepare, handle or administer insulin.

Please follow the links above for further information on each course, as well as registration details.
