Wanted - PCTs To Get Involved In Groundbreaking User Involvement Project, UK

Diabetes UK and NHS Diabetes have joined forces to deliver an innovative project that will support three primary care trusts (PCTs) in England to develop effective user involvement approaches in diabetes care. The charity is now seeking three organisations to become our local partners. About the project The "User involvement in local diabetes care" project will develop partnerships locally to create and support structured, systematic and sustainable user involvement in all aspects of diabetes care. User involvement allows people living with diabetes to influence the decisions taken about the services the NHS provides. These partnerships will provide support tailored to local need. In the later stages the project will share learning and good practice examples with services across the UK. Express your interest in taking part Initial expressions of interest to take part in the project must be submitted by 31 July 2009 - use our online form to express your interest. An innovative project "We want to make sure that the knowledge and experience of people with diabetes is respected, valued and drawn upon to influence and shape diabetes care," said Corinne McCrum, Project Manager for "User involvement in local diabetes care" at Diabetes UK. "This innovative project is extremely exciting and we would encourage as many organisations as possible to apply. We strongly believe that such partnerships will help them meet their obligations to involve and lead to better care for people with diabetes." Anna Morton, Director of NHS Diabetes, said: "Service user involvement in the design and delivery of diabetes services at a local level is a core principle that underpins the work of NHS Diabetes. This innovative project will help us to make that happen, not only in the three project areas but more broadly through the lessons we learn".
