Introduction
Diabetes in Pregnancy has become a key point of treatment in the antenatal journey and prevalence has increased worldwide. In response to this, a review of GDM services in Queensland provided information on; incidence of GDM diagnoses, appropriate services available, and care practices and management. Concerns raised included lack of available education to clinicians to increase knowledge of GDM.
Objectives
The objective of the evaluation was to gauge the increase of knowledge related to GDM following engagement with the eLearning series.
Methods
A pre/post survey was embedded in the series and included clinical knowledge of each of the 12 modules. The post survey also included comments about the relevance and understanding of the course content.
Results
As at December 2016, 242 (97%) completed the pre-course survey, 43 completed the post test survey, with further results to be analysed. There was a significant difference between the pre and post-course results (p=0.003). Key areas of knowledge that improved ; timing of Blood Glucose Levels (BGL) following diagnoses of GDM, recommended  weight gain during pregnancy, length of needle recommended for insulin administration , and optimal timing of screening tests for women.
Conclusion
The development and evaluation of this on-line module may have a positive impact on the confidence of the clinician providing antenatal care. This eLearning platform may provide an effective means of delivering further education to clinicians regarding other maternal conditions.
