What does the data say? • What does it mean for you The care bundle showed that there was a decline in the assessment for the risk & presence of complication of diabetes. • What does it mean for your patient Patient will slip through the gaps. • What does it mean for the work within your practice We have in our PMS a form called “Diabetes Nurse Form”. This form is not always utilised correctly. We have now implemented a protocol to use this form at our Nurse 6mnthly Diabetes check to ensure all aspects of diabetes risk & presence of diabetes complications are checked and reviewed.
