5 November 2021

This webinar aims to highlight strategies for developing a diabetes competent workforce, explore success stories of countries that have developed competency framework for diabetes-related roles and to identify relevant competencies essential for the delivery of diabetes services by pharmacists.

The series culminates in the launching of the ONE FIP Practice Transformation Programme on Diabetes.
