Did you know that there are currently five million people in England who are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes? If these trends persist, one in ten will go on to develop Type 2 diabetes, which evidence shows in many cases is preventable.
As well as the human cost, Type 2 diabetes treatment accounts for just under 9% of the annual NHS budget, around £8.8 billion per year!
THE NHS England Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP) is a pro-active, behavioural change programme for patients identified at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Once a referral has been received by the Provider they will take responsibility for all patient contact and arrangements so there is no more for you to do from that point on. Quarterly updates on the patients progress will be provided to a nominated practice nhs.net account and once a patient completes the programme, you will be notified so that you can monitor them going forward as you may previously have done.
