Here you can access our QISMET accredited online education courses to learn more about diabetes.
For Patients
Before starting the course, you will be directed to a registration form to complete. This is so we can track your progress throughout the course and let your healthcare team know when you are finished. We may also, from time to time with your GP's consent, assess how effective the courses are in helping people with their diabetes, by looking at changes in tests like HbA1c (blood glucose) levels (on anonymised data). This will help improve the courses in the future.
Once you have completed the registration form, you will be sent an email with a link to the course. You will then be able to create your own username and password for the eLearning site to start the course.
For Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare Professionals can view the content of the courses by registering for it yourself, as if you were a patient but using your nhs.uk email address. This enables us to identify you as a Healthcare Professional and we can then remove your progress from our reporting data.
Once you have completed the registration form, we will send you an email with a link to the course.

You won’t see them published, but we will be able to pick them up in the admin section of the site and pass them to our clinical team for review.
