Diabetes
There are an estimated 2.35m people with diabetes in England and this is predicted to grow to more than 2.5m by 2010. The diabetes NSF is a concerted effort to make sure these people, wherever they live, receive the same excellent standard of care. Embodied in the NSF is the central value of the NHS Plan—that good service is the outcome of genuine partnership between the patient and the provider. The NSF, launched in 1999, should substantially reduce the suffering caused by diabetes.
This report contains guidance on the care planning process for diabetes services, building on Standard 3 of the Diabetes National Service Framework (NSF). It explains the principles and processes of care planning, reviews the evidence base, and offers guidance on putting it into practice.
The diabetes commissioning toolkit provides advice for all commissioners of diabetes services. It describes how to carry out a health needs assessment for a local diabetes population and provides a generic specification for diabetes care, signposting recognised quality markers and suggesting key outcomes for the service.
The provision of high quality structured diabetes education is a vital part of any diabetes service. Its importance is set out in the Diabetes National Service Framework (NSF) and reinforced by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence Health Technology Appraisal
