Structured Education Programme For Type 2 Diabetes
Structured education programmes for people with type 2 diabetes are an essential part of effective diabetes management.
Taking part in a structured education programme can help people with diabetes improve their knowledge, skills and confidence. Enabling them to take control, integrate effective self-management into their daily life and overall improve their quality of life.
People who go on these courses often feel more confident about managing their diabetes, making healthier food choices, looking after themselves and meeting other people with diabetes. If you're supporting someone with diabetes, you’re welcome to join them on a face-to-face course.
The accredited type 2 diabetes education programme for adult diabetes services in mid and south Essex takes place at the Hawthorn Centre, Rochford Hospital, once or twice each month.
The session runs for half a day, and you can choose between two time slots: 9:30 to 12:30 or 1:30 to 4:30.
Please remember to pre-book your spot.
We welcome anyone living with type 2 diabetes to attend, along with any caregivers or family members who support those with this condition. If you’re booking a spot, please let the admin team know if someone will be accompanying you or if you’re attending on behalf of someone else.
However the referral form needs to be completed on behalf of the person living with diabetes.
To enrol on the course programme please download the patient self-referral application form. Complete all the sections and return the form by email to epunft.diabetes.education@nhs.net. Or by post to EPUT Adult Integrated Diabetes Service, Raphael House, Old Ship Lane, Rochford, SS4 1DD.
