NRDSAG Meeting: 16 May 2007

How are you doing in your patch on diagnosing diabetes, achieving QOF targets or at the cost-effective use of diabetes drugs?
Ever thought you'd like to know how you compare to other services regionally?
Are there any areas you feel you are performing well on? How have you achieved this and what could you share to help others?
The 2005 – 06 QOF data is now available and I am really interested in using the NRDSAG to look at it in detail on a regional basis. I have produced a brief review of some of the QOF data to present a flavour of this (Web Editor’s note: please see email attachment).
The next meeting of the Northern Region Diabetes Service Advisory Group will be on Wednesday 16th May 2007, at Collingwood College in Durham from 1pm. I propose the focus of this meeting to discuss this data and the future role of the NRDSAG (see agenda below).
Whether or not you can get to the meeting in May please have a look at the report and let me know what you think. Please feel free to pass this through your teams for discussion and let me know if they wish to be included in distribution lists.

Best wishes
