The results are due to be published early in 2017; the practice is reminded the results need to be reviewed at a practice level within a practice meeting, prior to discussing the results at a cluster meeting. We will inform the practice when the recent NDA results are available so these meetings can be set up. The aim of this meeting is to share good practice and identify areas for improvement. The areas for improvement will be required to be fed back using the template to [email protected] and this will be used to inform the ½ day updates for 2017/18. Diabetes Training Needs Assessment We would like to support you with an assessment of diabetes knowledge and competence amongst GP’s and Practice Nurses in Brighton & Hove and High Weald, Lewes & Havens by using a Training Needs Analysis questionnaire (Survey Monkey format). This is intended to provide a benchmark from which to move forward with regard to diabetes education and will help to identify particular areas in which those working in primary care would welcome education and training. To make the survey as valuable as possible we need all GP's and Practice Nurses working with patients with diabetes to complete the questionnaire. The questionnaire will be open for responses for 3 weeks, until 27th January, using the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DiabetesCareForYouBrighton The survey will take approx. 10 minutes to complete. If you have colleagues who are involved in diabetes management please pass this email / link onto them. As a result of the questionnaire, we hope to be able to identify priorities for diabetes education and training. _________________________________________________________________________________ GP Hot topics – 14 January 2017 We have another Hot Topics sessions on Saturday 14th January 2017, 9.30 am – 1 pm, Friends Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton.
