The Institute of Diabetes for Older People (IDOP), based at the University of Bedfordshire, has this month launched the first-ever national Care Home Diabetes Audit.
The England-wide survey, which is now open to participants, follows the recently-completed Beds & Herts diabetes care home audit pilot, which revealed significant variations in the access to training and education of care home staff who deal with residents with diabetes and inconsistent specific policies for the management of diabetes.
Care homes owners across Bedfordshire are being encouraged to take part to examine current diabetes procedures and practices at a time when the proportion of residents with diabetes has already approached 27%.
