A new e-skill module to enable nurses and GP?s to spot the signs and manage depression in patients with diabetes launches today at Guy?s Hospital. The development of the package was led by academics at King?s College London as part of the South London Health Innovation and Education Cluster (HIEC).
According to National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines, depression in adults is approximately two to three times more common in patients with a chronic physical health problem than in people who have good physical health.
The e-module demonstrates a simple transferable method to embed learning into care delivery, providing GPs and diabetes nurses with the opportunity to learn skills to spot depression more easily and treat the problems more quickly.
