Innovation award
Following a review of entries submitted in all QiC diabetes categories, judges selected a shortlist of those initiatives and programmes that demonstrated outstanding innovation.
Winner: E-learning programme and Aide Memoir — Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust
This project aimed to develop an e-learning programme and Aide Memoir for sustainability of knowledge to assist staff in supporting South Asian people with a diagnosis of mental health problems together with diabetes. The whole process will enhance and enable equitable development of improved performance of high-quality services for these people and enhance the capability of mental health service staff to support individuals in managing their diabetes, while still supporting the management of their mental health condition.
Finalist: Diabetes Management module — Barnet and Chase Farm NHS Trust
The Barnet and Chase Farm NHS Trust utilised the power of the internet to launch a 'diabetes management' web-based educational module for junior doctors that provides all the knowledge they require to identify and treat diabetic patients safely in any clinical scenario. Upon successful completion of the module (a 100% score on a final questionnaire) a Certificate of Diabetes Management is issued. The module has greatly improved diabetes care within the Trust.
Finalist: Safe use of insulin e-learning module — University Hospitals of Leicester
Insulin prescribing errors are common as shown by the six-year UK data that led to an initiative to improve insulin safety, including free access to an e-learning module (NHS Diabetes, National Patient Safety Agency). This e-learning module with in-built evaluation aims to improve the knowledge of all healthcare professionals (HCPs) on the safe use of insulin by completing a specifically designed e-learning module. It was developed by a multi-disciplinary team from three hospitals and the virtual college was project managed by Diabetes UK.
