A blended learning course in diabetics medicine, in collaboration with healthcare organisations. Develop skills in the diagnosis and treatment. The burden of long term non-communicable disease (NCD) is a challenge facing all health care organizations at an International level. The effect of this challenge is not just on increasing health care costs and an intolerable workload for health care professionals but a recognition that the current health care system needs to change fundamentally in order to cope with future demands.

The course has been designed to allow doctors to remain in their jobs while studying and for their studies to be able to have an immediate impact in their work environment.

This course is aimed at clinicians, but will be open to any applicant who meets the entry requirements. For admission to the programme applicants will need either a good medical degree or degree equivalent from a recognised academic institution or an appropriate professional qualification or experience acceptable to the course director and Research Council of Health, London. If your first language is not English, you must provide evidence of your English language proficiency. You must be IT literate to complete these highly interactive courses online and have access to a computer with a printer and a reliable internet connection.
