Training, Education and Support for Families, Support Workers and Carers.
We create a training package specifically to the needs of the person/s with diabetes.
We coordinate with the client, family and health care professionals, to create a training session that will prepare the staff to be able to care for the person/s with confidence.
All sessions are delivered on-site at the clients home or your place of business and are 100% hands-on. All Equipment that the person/s currently use will be provided to practice with and contextualized resources are provided.
