Diabetic care is a top priority for all primary care organisations. Currently, over 3 million people are living with Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can often be prevented, and the National Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP) aims to identify those at high risk and refers them to a behavior change programme.


The NHS DPP is a joint commitment from NHS England, Public Health England and Diabetes UK (NDPP).

 

Ardens has produced searches to help practices monitor their diabetic and pre diabetic patients.


To locate the searches, access the Population Reporting module > Ardens Searches > 4.12 Conditions - Diabetes > NDPP/LCD/Digital weight management referral > National Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP) folder.



National Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP)

This folder contains four sub folders.


This folder contains three subfolders.


Invitations

The invitations folder identifies patients to send an invite for an NDPP referral. It breaks down patients that are due a 1st and 2nd invitation and groups patients according to contact method (SMS, email and post).



If practices prefer to do mail merge for all patients, despite the contact preference, the ‘All of the above’ searches can be used.


Please note – if you are unsure why patient is appearing as eligible, click on the “Full Hierarchy” option on the EMIS ribbon and perform a Check Patient on the “?For NDPP referral as >= 18y + HbA1c 42-47 in last 12m + eligible…” search.


NDPP – Activity in last year

This folder includes searches that identify NDPP activity in the last 12 months, including patients who were invited, those who did not attend (DNA), those recorded as unsuitable, and those who completed the programme.



NDPP – For review/referral

This folder identifies patients who meet the criteria for referral to NDPP but have not yet been referred or declined referral. Additionally, it includes a search for those who may be eligible, but have a history of an eating disorder.
