EDEN for Primary Care

Eden is an award winning organisation that is part of the Leicester Diabetes Centre. Eden prides itself in providing quality and up to date evidence based education, aiming to upskill healthcare professionals in providing better care for people living with diabetes and other multimorbidity conditions.

We have seen much development around glucose monitoring technology particularly following the recent NICE guidance update allowing for flash and real time continuous glucose monitoring available for all living with type 1 diabetes and some with type 2 diabetes using insulin. The change includes prescribing of such technologies within primary care, which means that many healthcare professionals are wanting quality education around glucose sensing technology to enhance their knowledge and confidence.

Eden in collaboration with Dexcom has developed a programme comprising of online learning modules and interactive case studies guiding the healthcare professional through the key steps for primary care prescribing. The programme is available FREE to all healthcare professionals providing resources for all levels of understanding.
