Liverpool Diabetes Partnership - Redesigning Diabetes with the Patient as the Centre in Liverpool Juliette Palmer Liverpool Diabetes Partnership Diabetes Specialist Nurse Jan Fennell Rutherford Liverpool Diabetes Partnership Service Manager
Diabetes is one of the big health challenges faced by Liverpool Health Economy BACKGROUND The service is designed around the clinical need of our patients. As part of the Healthy Liverpool vision, healthcare teams across the city are working together to ensure that the care of patients with diabetes is proactive, tailored and provided locally in the community. Technology from EMIS Health is helping to turn the service redesign into reality Dr Janet Bliss, Liverpool CCG Healthy Liverpool Community Lead
Through Insight At Listening Events Through Diabetes UK Patient Groups Patients told us All participants felt they self manage mix of approaches & different levels of confidence Lower confidence need more support Self management is short term & reactive Lifestyle changes are not regarded as self management Low resonance of complications Diabetes education courses highly valued but poorly attended - Peer support excellent Lack of info regarding prevention (e.g. compared with cancer) & b) self care (diet & exercise) Lack of consistency of care & information Lack of signposting to non- medical services e.g. cookery classes Use of technology Lack of consistency in information explained to patients (also reflected at listening events) More/varied education programmes required Better support networks for younger people & more use of social media Presume we can be in control Diabetic exercise for health
