Nurse training case study: e-training of nurses in diabetes problems

Diabetes is recognised as a major social problem of the 21st century and the nursing community has a very important role to play in diabetes prevention and treatment. It is essential that any practitioner who is involved in their care is appropriately trained and educated. Traditional classroom training can no longer be considered as the only means of doing this, due in part to the large numbers of learners. Therefore, we propose a new solution to the problem using e-training, and offer local considerations as to its to possible implementation, e.g. in Poland.
