Diabetes National Overview Follow-up Report (PDF, 594KB, 1min, 26sec)
About this Report
The NHS QIS Clinical Standards for Diabetes (2nd ed.) were published in October 2002. Peer review visits to all NHS board areas in Scotland were conducted in 2003 to assess performance against the standards. A local report on each NHS board and national overview of service provision were published in March 2004.
An NHS QIS diabetes steering group was established in May 2006 to provide advice and support to NHS QIS in developing and undertaking follow-up review visits against the existing diabetes standards. The group is chaired by Dr Mike Small, Consultant Physician, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. Membership of this group is given in Appendix 2. This report, based on the NHS QIS follow-up reports for each NHS board area, presents a national overview of diabetes services within NHSScotland, reporting on the performance across Scotland against the standards and including relevant examples of local initiatives.
