Diabetes Education Training and support for Early Learning Centres, Schools and OSHC
Service Detail
On site Diabetes Education and Training
We create a training package specifically to the needs of the child.
We coordinate with the child’s parents, health care professionals, and the centre/school to create a training session that will prepare the staff to be able to care for the child with confidence.
All sessions are delivered on-site at the centre or school and are 100% hands-on. All Equipment that the child needs will be provided to practice with and contextualized resources are provided.
After the training, all staff will be issued with a 12-month certificate of competency for insurance purposes and PDP points.
One of the best services we provide is our one-on-one telephone assistance and guidance in the situation you have questions after the training. This is so useful that if you find yourself not knowing what to do in any situation you can talk with our trainer anytime.
SET Health operates during and out-of-office hours to suit your needs. Our prices are capped per group and we can deliver hands-on training on-site for up to 12-15 people at a time.
No matter the complexity we can create a session that will leave you feeling confident in your ability to be able to deliver care and educate that child.
We also have a classroom on site at our Mornington Clinic to facilitate training and education.
