Medical publisher the BMJ Group, UK, has announced a partnership with the University of Leicester to provide a new Postgraduate Diploma in Diabetes for doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals in the UK and across the world.
The Diabetes Diploma will be delivered by BMJ Learning, an online provider of continuous professional development for healthcare professionals. The two year part-time distance learning modular course focuses on diabetes in its global context and explores the common challenges of this chronic disease.
The Diploma will seek to provide students with a range of learning opportunities which will challenge them to evaluate the scientific evidence in diabetes and apply it in practice to improve patient outcomes. Students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle the challenges of prevention and management of diabetes that many health systems currently face.
The course is led by Professor Melanie Davies, Professor of Diabetes Medicine, and Professor Kamlesh Khunti, Professor of Primary Care Diabetes and Vascular Medicine. The Diabetes Department is part of the Department of Health Sciences and is based within the School of Medicine at the University of Leicester.
The modular course content has been developed by an experienced team from BMJ Learning and supported by Dr Dean Jenkins, Consultant Physician and educational advisor to BMJ Learning.
