The organisers of a groundbreaking diabetes survey are urging care home owners and managers to get behind their project, being eager to source vital information on current procedures and practice.
The aim of the survey, being carried out by The Institute of Diabetes in Older People (IDOP) and The Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD), is to ascertain how diagnosis and care for diabetes sufferers in residential care homes throughout England can be improved.
Leading the project, Professor Alan Sinclair, IDOP director and national clinical lead for diabetes in older people, comments on why the survey is of high importance to the care sector:
?According to our current research, the proportion of care home residents with diabetes has already approached 27%. Given this alarming statistic, we know that many care homes will wish to improve the ways in which care is organised and delivered for this large group of patients.
