Why is there a need for this module? In 2010, the NPSA released the following statement: “A training programme should be put in place for all healthcare professionals (including medical staff) expected to prescribe, prepare and administer insulin� NPSA reported that 62% of errors between 2003 and 2009 were related to administration of insulin and inaccurate prescribing is the most common error It is essential that high quality, FREE education is made available to all who manage patients on insulin PCDS (Primary Care Diabetes Society) have come together with TREND-UK (Training Research and Education for Nurses in Diabetes) to provide this education in an endorsed insulin safety module Overall module aim is to reduce insulin errors in clinical practice
