In a bid to reduce high costs and offer better care, a new model of Diabetes care has been trialled and evaluated. It is now implemented as routine care across Leicester/shire.
The Leicester model of enhanced diabetes care takes a collaborative, holistic approach to Diabetes and the management of multiple long-term conditions. It focuses on:
- Prevention
- Inequalities in care
- Increasing care standards, whilst reducing complications from care
- Community-based care
- Reduction in unplanned hospital admissions
- Better in-patient care experiences
