Diabetes Care and Management

Overview

During this Diabetes Care and Management programme from Glasgow Caledonian University , you will learn about best practices in health management and diabetes from a broad range of perspectives.

• Understand the biology of the disease
• Learn about preventing, diagnosing and managing diabetes
• Recognise diabetes complications
• Explore the latest research in the field
• Survey up-to-date advances in management and care
• Acquire the skills to collaborate on active clinical research

Keeping the programme career-focused, our diabetes care and management masters students undertake a number of clinical attachments at local hospitals. This opportunity helps them solidify their skills and make a positive impact on patients in a real-world setting. The final Project/Dissertation Diabetes module gives students the opportunity to obtain an enhanced understanding of an area of diabetes or to undertake a clinical audit in collaboration with local diabetes consultants.

Graduate prospects

Our graduates go on to do good work in general practice, hospitals and clinics. Some choose to study for the UK General Medical Council GMC exams (PLAB 1 and 2) and go on to work in the NHS.
