Following the publication of the QISMET Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) last month, we are now able to invite providers of both pediatric and adult diabetes education to apply for certification.

DH_logo-sm.jpg"The quality of self management provision is key for individuals to know that they are getting a good service and for commissioners to know that they are getting value for money.

I welcome the establishment of QISMET which will develop standards and accreditation processes for self management education and training"

Miles Ayling, Director of Innovation and Service Improvement, Department of Health

FIRST STEPS TO CERTIFICATION

All organisations that provide either Chronic Disease Self Management Programmes (CDSMP) originating from Stanford University and their derivatives or Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) courses in England are now eligible to apply for QISMET certification. Please email QISMET to make initial enquiries and register your interest.
