<strong>DIABETES</strong> <strong>ACTION</strong> <strong>PLAN</strong> <strong>2010</strong><br />
QUALITY CARE FOR <strong>DIABETES</strong> IN SCOTLAND<br />
Actions we will take:<br />
1. Ensure adequate training of staff in psychological skills<br />
• Diabetes MCNs should report to the Scottish Diabetes Group the number of<br />
diabetes specialist staff who have undergone training in behaviour change and/or<br />
psychological and emotional support (responsibility: MCNs/SDG. September<br />
<strong>2010</strong> ongoing).<br />
• All existing staff programmes will take account of cultural differences in the type<br />
and presentation of psychological consequences of diabetes.<br />
• Patient feedback on the support and signposting received in relation to<br />
emotional support should be collected to inform the development of staff<br />
training and to measure the impact such training delivers, (responsibility: NHS<br />
Boards through their diabetes MCNs).<br />
