Diabetes Care Initiative of the Year

Using data to improve the care of people with diabetes across Oxfordshire : Oxfordshire CCG, Oxford University Hospitals FT, Oxford Health FT, South Central and West Commissioning Support Unit

Development of a diabetes dashboard modelled on the National Diabetes Audit, which provided monthly updates on key care components. The data was displayed at both individual GP level as well as at a Locality level (now PCN level) and CCG level. Discussion about the Dashboard was incorporated into regular GP practice visits by Diabetes Consultants and Community Diabetes Specialist Nurses which occurred twice a year to nearly every GP practice in the CCG. Twice yearly locality meetings also reviewed the data at locality level and provided a forum for sharing ‘best practice’.
