PCI accreditation is the benchmark for high-quality, person‑centred training in the NHS.

Experience our one day PrePITstop course

For those unable to spend three-days on the course, there is now the one-day PrePITstop key message course, which delivers all the key messages from the three-day course in a one-day programme. It’s hard work and a lot to grasp, but has been commissioned in Hillingdon and Sandwell & West Birmingham and received extremely well.

In order to register for a PITstop course, you ideally need to have attended a Foundation course beforehand and have a decent grasp of essential diabetes services and patient care: diagnosis, structuring diabetes services using a practice diabetes team approach, lifestyle changes, oral diabetes medication, screening, prevention and treatment for diabetes-related complications.

Our three-day PrePITstop course remains the gold standard and is recommended especially for GPs and Practice Nurses relatively new to supporting people with diabetes.

But our initial courses demonstrated that attendees felt there was more than enough value in the shorter format.
