DAFNE centres can now give their DAFNE graduates access to the online units used in the Remote DAFNE participant course to refresh and update their knowledge. 

Graduates will not have access to the remote group video support calls; local arrangements can be made for them to bring any questions they may have to their next clinic appointment. 

We are able to provide this refresher training to all centres for no additional fee; however, currently centres have to provide DAFNE graduates with a 5×1 DAFNE workbook (January 2020 version) and Carb Portion list to complete the course.   

We have been looking into alternative options and have agreed that centres can email central DAFNE the name, contact number and home address of the graduate in order for graduates to purchase their own copies, we will contact them by phone within 2 working days of receipt of the confirmation email.  Centres must ensure that graduates are made aware that their contact details will be shared with the central DAFNE team who are employees of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, however their details will not be stored after the purchase is complete.

The above option would eliminate any cost to DAFNE centres, however centres would still be responsible for issuing the link and enrolment key to the graduates for them to access online course.
