This programme produced a series of podcasts with RCPCH Podcasts. These episodes were full of information and inspiration for quality improvement in children and young people’s diabetes services. Find RCPCH Podcasts on your podcast player of choice, or listen below.
In the last five years, the programme has supported quality improvement programmes attended by thousands of clinicians, helped to improve services at several NHS trusts across the UK and performed multiple peer reviews to identify good clinical practice. The impact of this programme has been seen in the number of Trusts whose standards of care have risen as a direct result of the NDQP as well as the number of clinicians whose practice has improved to better deliver for children affected by Diabetes. Read our final report that highlights impact in England and Wales.
