Start date: May 11th 2026

Programme will be added closer to the course start date. 

Webinars (Weeks 1–8):

• Monday 7 pm:  Live sessions run Mondays at 7 pm. Dr Ryan Paul presents on all aspects of diabetes management, with a strong focus on Type 2 diabetes. Each webinar includes time for live Q&A. All sessions are hosted online and recorded for later viewing. Live attendance is capped at 300 people

• Recorded session: Every week a recording of the live session is made available for you to watch in your own time. 

School Holiday Break (2 weeks):

• We will take a two-week break during the school holidays, knowing this is often a busy time for many. This gives people an opportunity to catch up on Webinars before the Mentoring sessions begin. 
  

Mentoring (Weeks 9–16):

• Monday 7 pm: A mixture of Case study presentations & Guest presentations from a variety of disciplines. There is a live Q&A at the end of each session.

• Recorded session: Every week a recording of the live session is made available for you to watch in your own time. 

• People are welcome to submit cases or questions to be discussed during the mentoring sessions.

Weekly MCQs:

• Each of the 16 weeks, you’ll be asked to complete a short attendance quiz which includes two multiple choice questions based on the week’s content. 100% pass for all 16 weeks is required for course completion and to download a certificate.

• We will ensure the content is covered in each session for that week’s MCQ.

• If you choose an incorrect answer, the platform provides feedback to support your learning. There are unlimited attempts, but you do need to achieve 100% to pass. 

The course is endorsed by RNZCGP & College of Nurses Aotearoa. This year we will be increasing the hours of CME from 16 to 20 to reflect that many sessions run over 1 hour.

Once you’ve completed all webinars and MCQs, you will be able to download a certificate.

• Fellows of RNZCGP will need to provide their MCNZ number to have their CME automatically uploaded at the end of the course. 

Q: Will registrations be capped?
No. Everyone is welcome to register. However, only 300 participants can attend each webinar live. All sessions will be recorded for those who miss out.

Q: I registered but haven’t received any emails?
We only start to send regular emails closer to the course start date. 

Q: What’s the difference between registering and enrolling?
Registering your interest adds you to our email list. Later, you’ll receive instructions to formally enroll in the course via Moodle, our online learning platform.

Q: When will webinar and mentoring session recordings be available?
We aim to upload recordings within a few days of the live session. These will be accessible on Moodle for the duration of the course. We will make them available long term in our video library. 

Q: What if I don’t pass the multiple choice questions?
No worries, you can try again! Each incorrect response includes an explanation to guide your learning. You can repeat each quiz as many times as needed.

Q: What if I can’t complete the course?
We understand that life gets busy. You can unsubscribe from the email list. Once enrolled in Moodle, you will need to contact us to withdraw.

We do tend to keep the course open for a while to allow people time to catch up and complete the course as we understand that life is busy, and people carry a lot of extra commitments. As long as you watch all of the sessions and complete all of the attendance MCQs, you’ll be eligible for your certificate.

Q: How do I withdraw from the course?

If you’ve only registered interest (not yet on Moodle), simply unsubscribe from our emails. If you’ve already enrolled on Moodle, please email us at education@aotearoadiabetescollective.org.nz to formally withdraw.

Q: Can I still claim education hours if I don't complete the course?
Yes! You can record any sessions you attended or watched as part of your personal professional development record, even if you don’t receive a formal certificate.
