Welcome to episode 91 [originally broadcast on Thursday 26 May 2022] of #mhTV. This week Nicky Lambert and David Munday spoke with guest Ruth Miller about diabetes and mental health.
RM - Until recently I worked with North West London Diabetes Transformation team as a Diabetes Nurse Consultant and I have now returned to working as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in diabetes in a large NHS acute Trust.
In 2014 I was working as Clinical Diabetes Lead in a London hospital when I developed the ‘Diabetes 10 Point Training’ programme for inpatient staff in response to concerns about patient safety.
The aim the programme is to ensure all frontline staff possess a good working knowledge of diabetes so that the safest and highest quality care can be provided by non-specialists. An informed workforce is fundamental to patient safety and good care not only in hospitals but in all parts of the patient pathway across health and social care. It is therefore essential that all health and social care workers have access to diabetes training that is concise and highly relevant to the individuals work setting and role.
The central focus is the person living with diabetes. Point 1 states: “Listen to the person, they live with their diabetes 365 days a year”
