Diabetes Educator

2 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust Full time

We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 4 Diabetes Educator to join our friendly team within Harrow Community Diabetes Service. This is an exciting time to support people living with diabetes and to help facilitate the management of their condition. The post holder is expected to deliver and facilitate Diabetes Structured Education DESMOND for people with diabetes in Harrow and Brent Community. Full training and support will be given for the role.

DESMOND stands for Diabetes Education and Self-Management for Ongoing and Newly Diagnosed. The DESMOND Newly Diagnosed & Foundation modules (ND/F) are part of an established education programme designed to give people with Type 2 diabetes a good start in managing their condition.

In the DESMOND ND/F education courses two trained Educators work together to facilitate group education for people with diabetes. Previously, only registered healthcare professionals (e.g. diabetes nurses, dietitians) could take on this role. A successful research study, which trained non healthcare professionals with an interest in diabetes, has demonstrated that non healthcare professionals can be trained to deliver education courses with a healthcare professional partner, to the same standard and with the same positive results as those using a team of 2 healthcare professionals.

An Educator (non-HCP) in DESMOND must follow a prescribed training programme as set down by the DESMOND National Programme. An Educator (non-HCP) will deliver DESMOND diabetes group education together with a healthcare professional Educator partner, who has been accredited by the DESMOND National Programme.

Central London Community Healthcare (CLCH) is one of the largest community healthcare organisations in London and Hertfordshire, providing our services to diverse communities/boroughs in 11 London Boroughs - Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hounslow, Kensington and Chelsea, Merton, Richmond, Wandsworth, Westminster - and Hertfordshire.
