Can we improve care for diabetes sufferers in residential care homes
The Institute of Diabetes in Older People (IDOP) and The Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) are urging care home owners and managers to get behind their recent project.
The aim of the project is to ascertain how diagnosis and care for diabetes sufferers in residential care homes throughout England can be improved.
So far the organisers have received under 2,000 surveys of the 17,500 sent out, leading to concerns that much of the residential care community are unaware that the challenge posed by diabetes is a pressing issue that needs strong forward-planning.
As a Care Home professional, are you aware of this project?
