Integrated Care Diabetes Package

Integrated diabetes nursing activity • Structured education

– Assessing delivery in terms of quality and access– Addressing issues of access in terms of redirecting programmes if over delivered in

certain areas– Directing or delivering where provision is absent

• Practice involvement– Liaison with practice nurse key– Assessing diabetes register provision & supporting where not developed– Establishing if call and recall systems are effective within practices– Assessing numbers of DM in practice and in network population– Some direct patient involvement is allowed but should be very much directed

involvement Supporting injectable treatment initiation

• Across practices and region– Educational support to practices, localities – Audit of diabetes practice within and across practices– Diabetes facilitator role not envisaged across the whole region – Secondary care patient profile, suitability for integrated care or intermediate care– Diabetes prevention programmes to be encouraged and supported– Good practice in use of resources for diabetes care to be audited e.g. use of and

following guidelines, glucose test strip usage, supporting chronic disease initiatives – around diet, exercise, and weight.

Additional Diabetes Work Streams

• Pregnancy– Updated national diabetes in pregnancy guidelines– National screening guidelines for GDM– LTI scheme & GDM

• ICT – to support communication

• Paediatric diabetes

• Research – HRB/RCQPS

2013 - 2014 challenges
