  2. DEN Aims • The Type 1 Education Network was set up at a meeting in Bournemouth in May 2003 (30 people representing 18 centres) with the following objectives: • To support centres in delivering high quality self-management education for Type 1 diabetes. • To support centres in accessing appropriate staff training. • To enable centres to share best practice and learn from each other. • To develop common core content and evaluation criteria to facilitate quality assurance.

  3. Steering Group Aims • In order to cater for the increasing interest in and membership of the Network, a Steering group was set up in 2005. The group initially met every 3-4 months to plan regional meetings, the annual conference and to develop frameworks for curriculum development and quality development processes. It now meets twice a year. • The steering group’s mission statement is to: “Support diabetes teams in integrating structured education for children and adults with diabetes in their service, by providing a framework for curriculum development, educator training, quality assurance and audit which meets the Department of Health criteria”.

  4. DEN Achievements • Developed structured self management education tools and skills via documents and workshops • Held regional meetings which supported the further development of programmes using the tools developed • Holds national conferences on structured education.

  5. Achievements – meetings • Meetings were held initially every six months; they included smaller workshops as well as plenary sessions. The workshops focused on goal setting, setting up a course, paediatric education and audit. • With the publication of the Structured Education Criteria a national meeting was held in May 2006 where 80 people attended a workshop in London to develop a philosophy for Type 1 education. • In view of the growing number of participants, it was decided to hold a series of regional meetings each year and an annual national conference.
