Abstract
Year 3 student nurses encountering diabetes and the care of the patient suffering from diabetes. Curriculum work around care of the diabetic patient and student observations . At the University of Salford we recognise the importance of delivering quality diabetes education for the nursing community. This article discusses how a group of Nurse Educators, a Paediatric Diabetes team and people living with the condition created a unique visual resource to deepen understanding of Type 1 diabetes, focusing on a family centred perspective. We have adapted a written patient case study into series of six short films illustrating a young person’s journey from early symptoms through to confirmation of type 1 diabetes and their adjustment to the condition in the early months. ‘Sammie Bem’ is eleven years old at diagnosis.
