Care homes across England are being asked to take part in a Diabetes Audit, as part of a national initiative launched by the Institute of Diabetes for Older People (IDOP).
With the proportion of care home residents with diabetes already estimated as at least 27%, the Institute is hoping to use its findings in order to present a powerful case to regulatory body the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as to quality standards that its inspectors can add to their assessments.
