Elevate: Clinical Leadership & Excellence
for Nurses in Primary Care

Empowering Nurses in Primary Care in the management of people with diabetes, CVD, CKD and long term conditions

More than 5 million people in the UK have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, half of whom also have Chronic Kidney Disease. Type 2 Diabetes is one of the main risk factors for premature death from cardiovascular disease.

This programme aims to empower Nurses in primary care - along with DSN’s who cover primary care - to learn, grow and become the leaders of the future, ultimately improving the holistic care of people with Cardiovascular-Renal-Metabolic (CVRM) conditions.

Elevate is open to Primary Care Nurses and newer DSNs (under two years in post ) in the UK who are keen to help shape the future, both in their locality and beyond.
