VISION FOR DIABETES CARE IN GRAMPIAN2023 - 2030 |
 |
Diabetes is a harmful, life-long condition that affects all parts of people’s lives. Unfortunately, despite significant advances, it can still have devastating consequences for people and families living with diabetes. It impacts on physical and mental health, social and occupational wellbeing. Diabetes services cater for the preborn to the elderly, with its impact across all aspects of the health service. Care of diabetes and its complications are of significant cost to all parts of health and social care services. Effective management is crucial, not only for improving the lives of those living with diabetes, but to deliver value-based health care consistent with the principles of Realistic Medicine. Optimising diabetes services will result in prevention and early detection of harm whilst reducing avoidable spend across all health and social care services.
The Grampian Diabetes Managed Clinical Network (MCN) has developed a Vision for Diabetes Care in Grampian to address the challenges we now face. The vision is aligned to national improvement and development frameworks and adopts the ambitions set out in the NHS Grampian Plan for the Future.
