A total of 60% of Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in England fail to fund specific education about diabetes for healthcare professions working in their area, according to Diabetes UK.
Furthermore, more than half (44%) of CCGs did not assign any time for healthcare professionals, including retinal screeners, to undertake diabetes-related education.
