Diabetes Self Care Program (7 steps to success)

1.5 Program Facilitators

The DSCP should be conducted by qualified health professionals authorised to practice and who have recognised qualifications and experience in diabetes education and care. Credentialled Diabetes Educators®, or health professional eligible for this credential and who have completed an ADEA accredited graduate certificate course in diabetes education and care, are the recommended facilitators. At a minimum, facilitators should be authorised health professionals who have completed the diabetes short course Diabetes Management in the General Care Setting (National Association of Diabetes Centres).

It is recommended that, wherever possible, the DSCP is facilitated by a multidisciplinary team. Where team delivery occurs, it is essential that all facilitators are familiar with and committed to the goals and philosophy of the DSCP, communicate with other team members regarding participant progress, participate in the evaluation of the DSCP and actively contribute to the continuous quality improvement of its delivery.
