- To explore the setting and implementation of individualised targets for the older person with frailty
MODULE SIX
Objectives:
- To review the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes
- To understand the methods and criteria for diagnosing
type 2 diabetes - To explore the impact of clinical inertia on patient outcomes and the importance of early treatment optimisation
- To recognise the differences between compliance, adherence, and concordance and to understand the features of concordant patient consultations
MODULE SEVEN
Objectives:
- Explore complications associated with type 2 diabetes
- Consider the unmet clinical need related to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes
- Understand how clinical guidance for type 2 diabetes has
been updated to reflect the results of positive cardiovascular outcome trials - Reflect on the goals of treatment and individualised care for patients with type 2 diabetes
MODULE EIGHT
Objectives:
- Discuss the considerations when choosing a treatment to meet the needs and circumstances of individual adult patients with type 2 diabetes

oral therapies
MODULE NINE
Objectives:
- To recall the different considerations when choosing oral treatments for patients with type 2 diabetes
- To explore the need for individualised treatment targets and goals, and the impact that this has on choosing the right treatment, for the right patient, at the right time
- To use case studies to bring theory to life
MODULE TEN
Objectives:
- Explore the interconnected relationship between conditions of the CRM system across type 2 diabetes
