Level: Introduction
Diabetes can be an overwhelming diagnosis for many pet owners. As one of the most common endocrine diseases facing small animals, we need to play our role in owner support and education. The disease is life long and involves a good level of knowledge and commitment from the veterinary team and owner. It is our role as veterinary nurses, to provide that baseline education to the owners, to get them on the right track. But diabetes is far from basic! Nursing management goes beyond the first consult, we can take charge of the patients life-long monitoring and alongside the veterinary surgeon, we can make a huge difference to the quality of life for the patient and owners alike.

All of our courses are aimed at veterinary nurses in general practice, but everyone who works in the veterinary profession is very welcome to attend, whether you are a clinical receptionist, veterinary surgeon, student nurse or have been a qualified nurse for over 20 years!
The courses are not formally assessed for skill level, so the following CPD levels are just a rough guide to help you decide if a course may be more or less suitable:
Introduction
– maybe most suitable for qualified nurses in general practice approaching a new topic or looking for a refresher course
Intermediate
– maybe most suitable for qualified nurses in general practice along with referral / specialist nurses looking for a refresher course
Advanced
– maybe most suitable for referral / specialist nurses and highly experienced qualified nurses in general practice
