Diabetes webinars for Health Professionals – LIVE and onDemand

Diabetes WA LIVE for Health Professionals is a series of educational webinars covering current hot topics on diabetes management. This series enables health professionals around WA to hear the latest information on how to help their diabetes patients.

Our webinar series is especially important because the restrictions to combat COVID-19 mean that face-to-face diabetes training is currently unavailable.

Regional health professionals may already be aware of our Telehealth Upskilling program of events. Due to the current situation, we have increased the number of topics and sessions, and opened the series to metro health professionals.

Sessions are shown on the calendar on the right of this page.

To stay in the loop, signup to our DIALOG newsletter for health professionals.

How does a webinar work?

A Diabetes WA webinar is a live, online presentation conducted by a Credentialled Diabetes Educator using the Zoom platform. You can participate using a computer, tablet or smartphone. It is interactive – you can ask questions by typing into the chat function of the presentation.
