NHS England is developing a diabetes management and care programme aimed at reducing variation and improving outcomes for people with diabetes.

NHS England is making an additional £44 million Transformation Funding available to support delivery of the programme which will focus on four areas: reducing variation in the achievement of the three National Institute for Health and Care Excellence treatment targets, improving take up of structured education, improving access to multi-disciplinary foot care teams for people with diabetic foot disease and improving access to specialist inpatient support. The funding will also provide wider support for diabetes improvement, including dedicated diabetes posts in regional teams and clinical networks.
