Since 2016 the Diabetes Partners Strategy Group at NHS Newcastle Gateshead Clinical Commissioning Group has been reviewing the services it provides to patients in Newcastle with Type 2 Diabetes. As a result of this review a new integrated model of care has been agreed.
This report details the results of engagement undertaken with patients who currently receive their care at the Diabetes Centre to understand their views of one aspect of the new model – the care of patients whose condition is stable moving from the Diabetes Centre to their GP practice.
This report should be viewed in conjunction with NGCCG’s ‘Type 2 Diabetes Integrated Model of Care Primary Care Engagement 2017’ report detailing primary care views of the new model.
