National Diabetes Audit 2018-19 Full Report 1: Care Processes and Treatment Targets

Reports | Published: 10 Dec 2020

The National Diabetes Audit (NDA) provides a comprehensive view of diabetes care in England and Wales. It measures the effectiveness of diabetes healthcare against NICE Clinical Guidelines and NICE Quality Standards.

The core National Diabetes Audit answers five key questions:

  1. Is everyone with diabetes diagnosed and recorded on a practice diabetes register?
  2. What percentage of people registered with diabetes received the nine NICE key processes of diabetes care?
  3. What percentage of people registered with diabetes achieved NICE defined treatment targets for glucose control, blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk reduction?
  4. What percentage of people registered with diabetes are offered and attend a structured education course?
  5. For people with registered diabetes what are the rates of acute and long term complications (disease outcomes)?

This report presents the audit data for each of these questions and offers key recommendations.

GP practice, specialist service level information and results of the insulin pump audit accompany this report and can be found on the NHS Digital website.
