Safer Ramadan eLearning module for 2020
Eden’s Safer Ramadan eLearning module, is available to all health care professionals via diabetes template on SystmOne.
The holy month of Ramadan is an important part of the Muslim calendar, during which daylight fasting is observed by healthy Muslims.
Many Muslims with diabetes, even though they are exempt from fasting will still participate, even when it is against medical advice.
Consequently this is an ongoing challenge for healthcare professionals to support and facilitate safe fasting for Muslims with diabetes.
The eLearning module aims to:
Increase healthcare professionals knowledge and confidence to support and advise Muslim patients, wishing to fast during Ramadan
Provides a quick-glance guide to help risk stratify patients with diabetes wishing to fast
Enables healthcare professionals to tailor advice to individual needs
On completion of the Safer Ramadan eLearning module a printable certificate of completion for CPD is available, as well as embedded infographics which are available to print for use within surgery.
