The MERIT™ programme consists of 2 complementary elements:
Meeting Educational Requirements – A flexible, classroom-based education course designed to provide delegates with the theory required to support diabetes management.
Improving Treatment – The provision of tailored clinical support in order to help delegates consolidate the theory into practice following completion of a MERITTM course.
- Clinical support is designed to support the module that has been undertaken. This service by a specialist nurse resource (either via the Community Diabetes Nursing team or a Novo Nordisk Diabetes Education Nurse facilitator) is not a mandatory part of MERIT™ but is useful for providing practices with an over-view of their current diabetes care and to highlight patients who may require clinical intervention.
