The aim of the project was to align EU countries to provide standardised, accredited training for HCPs, and create transferable learning outcomes and credit points. The objective was to identify barriers and facilitators for the creation of the curriculum; to develop an EU accredited Certified Diabetes Educator Course (EU-CDEC) and establish an accreditation process aligned to ECVET principles. This was achieved through the development and validation of the INT AD-CDEC blueprint: Annex 32. This was aided by Partners’ recognition of how specialist training improves patient outcomes; their willingness to share expertise, and the execution of the 7 work packages. The tasks of WP1 developed robust relationships between Partners e.g. a bespoke financial template and guidelines for Partners was created: Annex 6, an over achievement. This was successfully used throughout the project; every Partner understood their role, ensuring activities were achieved with little risk as identified in WP7 Q.A. Report: Annex 25-31,81,82. The blueprint was based on current evidence and best practice: benchmarking of paediatric services across the EU took place in the SWEET project led by P1. The blueprint was also in line with global IDF, ISPAD, NICE guidelines and ECVET principles. The project had permission from the German Diabetes Association (DDG) to translate the certified diabetes educator course; transfer of innovation including philosophical, teaching and learning strategies formed the theoretical framework. This gave structure to the data collection and analysis in the Mapping Exercise in WP2: Annex 19 and identified key characteristics of the role and Partners’ accreditation policies. The key components identified from the data were then compared with the German curriculum. The blueprint was tested out in WP4. A top down study on face-to-face vs e-learning was undertaken Annex 34. This was additional work, but allowed for the further refinement of the blueprint and identification of the resources required. A bottom up study of students’ evaluations on the first Advanced Diabetes Educator Course in the UK took place, further enhancing the refinement of the blueprint. Additional activities included case studies of potential students across the EU exploring mobility issues including language barriers. All Partners worked on case scenarios of a newly diagnosed child to gain further insight into the child’s journey, the role of the DE and the learning outcomes e.g. Annex 33.
