GPs could be forced to offer a battery of diabetes checks under a single 'all or nothing' QOF target worth thousands of pounds to the average practice, under plans set out by NICE advisors.
GPs would need to provide eight annual care checks to patients with diabetes to earn any points under the indicator, approved for development by NICE advisors last week.
Ministers want GPs to offer more diabetes care reviews, including foot checks and urinary albumin testing, following criticism that too few patients are receiving all the recommended checks.
