To ensure adequate training of staff in psychological skills:
• The diabetes MCNs should report to the Scottish Diabetes Group the number
of diabetes specialist staff who have undergone training in behaviour change
and/or psychological and emotional support.
• All existing staff programmes will take account of cultural differences, in the type
and presentation of psychological consequences of diabetes.
• Patient feedback on the support and signposting received in relation to
emotional support should be collected to inform the development of staff
training and to measure the impact such training delivers.
