NHS Diabetes is the essential link between diabetes strategy and frontline improvements for patients. Through our integrated work programmes we provide national leadership and direction as well as support to local organisations working to champion good quality diabetes care.
At the heart of our work is supporting the implementation of the NHS Outcomes Framework and the NICE Quality Standards for diabetes. We do this by:
- Providing
national leadership: we work to ensure diabetes remains high on the
national health agenda and translating national strategy into local action.
- Tackling
unacceptable variation: our tools, guidance, networks and ‘primary care
consultancy’ service help to reduce unacceptable and persistent variation in
diabetes care
- Supporting
local improvement: our networks help share ideas and good practice, drive
forward service improvements and improve links between national strategy and
local action
- Championing
‘audit to action’: we provide easy to understand data to local
organisations so they can see where to act to improve services.
- Offering
tailored support: we use data to identify where services aren’t up to
scratch and offer organisations constructive support and help to improve.
Ultimately we are working to build a future that ensures good quality diabetes care for all.
Our six key work areas: Commissioning; Information and data; Networks; Safety; Quality improvement and Areas of care, support the objectives above.
This website is an interactive resource set up to enable you to source support, guidance, resources, diabetes information and data from your desk. You can contact us with your questions through the 'Ask a question?' button found on each page.
