About the Cambridge Diabetes Education Programme (CDEP)
A diabetes competency-based e-learning platform
The Cambridge Diabetes Education Programme (CDEP) was designed and tested by a multi-disciplinary, diabetes specialist team, consisting of nurses, dietitians, podiatrists, health care assistants, general practitioners and hospital consultants.

- Diabetes UK: An integrated career and competency framework for dietitians and frontline staff
- Diabetes UK: Podiatry competency framework for integrated diabetes foot care
- Diabetes UK: An integrated career and competency framework for pharmacists in diabetes
