Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get online pictures of the DAFNE principles as used on the training course?
I'm particularly interested in "the stepwise approach".
Cheers!

If your a graduate you can access them here, just take a screenshot.....

your profile suggest your not a graduate and so it would be frowned upon giving portions of the course handbook away without you attending and being trained by the educators....

Very Happy

Thanks!
Some questions:
Does "Graduate" means someone who has attended DAFNE?
Will the Dietician or Diabetic Specialist Nurse who delivered DAFNE be able to give me access to another area of this site (with a code)?
Cheers!
Felix

As I understand it you have to attend the full 5 days of DAFNE in order to receive the code from the educators...HCPs....

if you have been to a refresher then that would mean you have been on the course and so yes, they can provide you with the code for this site...

Excellent news! Yes, I did the 5 day in 2010 then a half day refresher this month.
I was hoping to dialog with my DSN (Dafne Specialist Nurse or Diabetic Specialist Nurse?)
HCP ... Health Care Professional?
Check me out with me acronyms! Wink

The DSN at Lewisham says that they have had longstanding problems with their logins. I wanted to dialog with her on this forum about BI etc but insted I've just emailed her pdf. Pity.

Your DSN (Diabetes Specialist Nurse) should contact the DAFNE On-line the site administrators for help with the access codes for the site. Part of the measurement of every DAFNE clinic's performance now includes a check that an introduction and access to DAFNE On-line is included in each course delivered, so it's surprising to hear that they are having problems with site access. Mark or Simon, as part of they great service they provide, will be able to sort this out.

PS. You could also suggest to the DSN that the team member(s) who went to the annual DAFNE Collaborative in June this year or last, will have had been able to attend a session on DAFNE On-line during which Mark and Simon included a refresher on site access. Therefore the Lewisham team should have knowledge on what to do.

PPS. Yes an HCP is a Health Care Professional.

Magic, many thanks, Peter.
I will email this to my DSN.
I have got so much from this forum already, just reading other peoples stories and queries is very affirming, and being able to dialog with a HCP is invaluable.

In the short time I've been looking at and contributing ot the forum, I have only found one instance where someone has shared a Diary. Could you direct me to other threads where people are discussing examples of BG control?

sorry just found this thread, xmas holiday and all that Very Happy IF you email us which centre you attended, it sounds like a london one then we can get it sorted. If any centre is having issues in accessing the site they just need to contact us and we will sort it. I don't want to be rude, but many seem to struggle with the concepts behind IT, but hey they are supposed to fix people not machines, right Laughing
