Diabetes Notes Review Service

Through this service Healthcare Professionals will assess the treatment of their diabetic patients with a diabetologist or diabetes clinical nurse specialist who will help encourage and support positive changes in the management of diabetic patients.

It is intended that Healthcare Professionals, and therefore the Healthcare Organisations for which they work, will benefit by optimising their ability, and that of others, more effectively to treat diabetic patients. They will also improve their understanding of those patients may be suitable for referral and those who can be treated more locally through improved clinical practice. This will help to drive the improvement of the health of the local population, and/or the efficiency of the local healthcare economy.

The Diabetes Notes Review Service is delivered as a half day round table meeting led by a Senior Hospital Doctor or Clinical Nurse Specialist from the field of Diabetes. Individual patient cases are reviewed, treatment options considered, education on effective diabetes care is given and consensus reached on by the Healthcare Professionals on the treatment pathway for patients now and in the future.
