Noticeboard: Vol 16 No 2

Do you ever wonder if other people are doing the same as you and that you might just be re-inventing the wheel? Now is your chance to find out by using the Noticeboard section in the Journal of Diabetes Nursing. The idea of Noticeboard is much the same as an internet message board where people can place requests, thoughts, ideas – in fact anything they want to share – as a brief message on this page. Please send any questions or responses to [email protected].

Band 2 practitioners prompting individuals to administer own insulin

Q We are currently exploring the complexities around Band 3 non-registered practitioners administering insulin. In the meantime, to assist with clinical demands, we are considering Band 2 non-registered practitioners “prompting” individuals to administer their own insulin.Do any DSNs have any experience with working with community staff to facilitate this and any documentation that has assisted them with the process?
