Learning Objectives

It is imperative that patients with diabetes should be engaged in the management of their condition and wherever possible, see the risks that untreated diabetes can pose and the benefits of interventions, both lifestyle and pharmacological.

This workshop will explore issues around patient engagement and ‘buy-in’ to intervention.

Delegates should gain:

Insights into patient risk appraisal, illness internalisation and acceptance of intervention
Understanding of intervention strategies with evidence of risk (or event rate) reduction
Awareness of risk factor driven complications
Confidence in using evidence to help patients decision making and potentially, ‘buy-in’ to intervention
A practical SMART approach to encourage and support patient motivation and confidence
