North West London Collaboration of CCGs: NW London diabetes transformation programme

The project aimed to improve outcomes for diabetics in the community by reducing variation in the care they received. GP networks received performance related payments according to whether they meet certain quality indicators, including meeting the percentage of patients meeting the three National Institute for Health and Care Excellence treatment targets, cost effective prescribing of glucose strips, and patients referred for structured education.

Data analysis was used to identify performance and changes, and a diabetes dashboard set up. Achievements have included a significant increase in patients getting the nine recommended care processes, 3,088 extra patients achieving the three NICE targets since June 2016, a register of non-diabetic hyperglycaemic patients and digital self-care apps for patients.

The approach, which could be replicated elsewhere, has brought together nearly 200 stakeholders and was developed in partnership with patient groups.
