Diabetes Competence Assessment Tools

In 2016, the Department of Health (DoH) Diabetes Nurse Education Group was established. A key objective was to determine the learning and development needs in relation to knowledge and skills of primary care and community nurses, necessary for the effective management of diabetes.

A task and finish group of the Regional District Nursing Diabetes sub group determined the competencies required by District Nursing and General Practice Nurses (GPNs), using the Trend Framework for Diabetes Nursing (2014).
