Reflections and Comments

Don't see exactly what you need  on our list of workshops? No problem - we can design a workshop specifically to meet your needs.  Perhaps you'd like a day including a blend of topics from our existing list (group facilitation skills in the morning, education skills in the afternoon, maybe?), you want to focus on how to support a particular group of people with diabetes in your locality, or spend your time thinking about Type 2 prevention strategies? Whatever your desired outcomes, we can meet them in an enjoyable, effective way!  

It's simple to get in touch & tell us what you need and we'll take it from there. Look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome to everything you need to know about this unique and exciting workshop!

Each participant will also automatically receive SD's fresh new certificate of attendance, either in hard copy or electronically - or both if you wish!.

This unique workshop, launched in 2013, addresses one of the most pressing needs in diabetes care - how to provide services that will engage and support young adults with diabetes in all ways, including medically, educationally and psychologically.

A gap that is especially of concern is that of transition between children’s and adult diabetes services. This is a time when many young people become 'lost' to the system and find it very difficult to re-access services when they need them. This too is addressed in the workshop.

The workshop is for diabetes teams involved in the provision of services and education for young adults. It supports the team/s participating to gain more understanding of what helps and hinders young adults in engaging and participating in their diabetes care, reflect on their current and desired provision, undertake problem-solving for the challenges they face and develop specific skills in communicating with young adults. Most importantly, the workshop helps them to devise a workable action plan for future developments.

The workshop is supported by a dedicated website, containing the pre-course preparation (see below), post workshop reflection, resources and comprehensive references, which can be accessed before, during and after the workshop.

Collaboration with Joe

The workshop features the contribution and insight of a young adult with diabetes. Joe Fraser has lived with diabetes as a child and young adult and gives a practical and sometimes challenging presentation to help the workshop discussions and focus on real-life experiences and needs.

There are a number of standard personalised care planning workshop options available, which are detailed below. We are particularly pleased to offer two additional options, which will help you develop trainers and mentors to be able to implement care planning in your area. It is recommended that any of the chosen options are part of a larger implementation plan within a locality.

Personalised Care Planning: Putting the Theory into practice

This is a one day workshop with a follow-up half day 1-3 months later. It is designed to help practitioners such as GPs, practice nurses, healthcare assistants and administrative staff work together on understanding care planning and identifying strategies to be able to implement this into their own practice. The workshops can be focused on diabetes, on long term conditions generally, or on a single long term condition according to local need. A single workshop and follow-up can be purchased, or a series of workshops and follow-ups to integrate care planning across a locality.

Cost of Personalised Care Planning: Putting the Theory into practice: £2000
