Both PrePITstop programmes join PITstop as RCGP accredited courses. The assessor panel continue to be impressed with the quality of the resources submitted, describing the courses as excellent quality, with no changes required. The 1-day and 3-day PrePITstop courses are proving to be popular, as they both incorporate key STP requirements, including the three targets (HbA1c < 58mmol/mol, cholesterol < 5mg/dL, blood pressure < 140/80mm/Hg), increased attendance to structured patient education and active participation in the diabetes foot care pathway by primary care teams.
The 1-day course is great for GPs who are not necessarily the diabetes lead in their practice but want a good diabetes update on most aspects other than injectables. As one GP in East Kent emailed:
I have read on your website that you offer a 1 day pre-PITSTOP intensive course.
