Over recent years, there have been a number of significant changes in the approach to screening, diagnosis, assessment and management of diabetes in primary care. Medcast's Diabetes in General Practice course covers the latest in research and practice updates in this field.

The course was primarily written by Dr Justin Coleman, former editor of the Diabetes Management Journal and co-editor of Murtagh General Practice. The Diabetes in General Practice course comprises the most up-to-date and important topics for Australian GP's managing diabetes.

"Evidence-based medicine for primary care - fun, interactive, chunked and not-to-be-missed, especially if you don't have time to read all the latest research."
