DESMOND is effective evidence based self-management education programme.
DESMOND Newly Diagnosed and Foundation modules are the first steps in self management for people with type 2 diabetes. The other modules BME, Walking Away, are all developed using the DESMOND self management theories and philosophies.
It is envisaged that health care professionals undertake the 2 day training to become a DESMOND Educator and then build up the other modules as local health needs assessment dictates, e.g. if High South Asian community then to undertake the BME module.
