International Diabetes Federation's (IDF) influential Atlas of Diabetes predicts that the number of people living with diabetes in the world will have risen from its current figure of approximately 537 million to 783 million people by 2045. New clinical knowledge and therapeutic treatments are constantly being developed and there is increasing demand from practicing clinicians wishing to further educate themselves and their teams in this rapidly moving field.
The University of Warwick is a globally renowned centre of excellence in diabetes education. This wholly online programme, offered in partnership with the online medical organisation iheed, provides a route for Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, and Allied Healthcare professionals to enhance their current skills, knowledge and confidence in the care of patients living with Diabetes.
Completing the MSc / Pg Dip Diabetes Care programme directly enhances professional pathways.
For doctors, it broadens their understanding and equips them with the latest diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, enhancing their clinical practice and elevating their prospects in hospital or clinical settings. Many alumni have obtained GPwER status in the UK – A GpwER (General Practitioner with Extended Roles) is a GP GP who undertakes, in addition to their core general practice, a role that is beyond the scope of GP training and the MRCGP and requires further training. Graduates in the Middle East / South Asia manage diabetes clinics and sit on national steering committees.
Nurses benefit immensely by advancing their skill set, transitioning from bedside care to more specialised roles or even leadership positions within diabetes care teams. A postgraduate qualification (alongside clinical experience and other pillars of advance practice) is an essential requirement to obtain Clinical Nurse Specialist or Advanced Nurse Practitioner roles.
Allied Healthcare professionals, including dietitians and pharmacists, gain a comprehensive insight into holistic diabetes management, expanding their consultancy opportunities and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
