Diabetes care and education training audit for primary care physicians across 47 counties of Kenya: A pre-post intervention study
Authors' conclusion
Web-based training is an effective way to improve the knowledge and self-reported confidence of PCPs involved in the management of diabetes. This web-based model can support the training needs of PCPs at a pace and time to suit their situation. Similar evidence-based programmes should be considered and field-tested for other healthcare professionals working in the management of diabetes.
