Waikato Diabetes Study Day

Have you just returned to practice nursing or are new to practice nursing? This study day is for nurses who are already doing diabetes annual reviews but want to feel more confident in advocating for escalation of therapy to the prescribers in their medical centre. This day will be centred around case studies, with a focus on newer medications and insulin therapy.
