Notice Title

Type 2 Diabetes Structured Education Service Tender

Notice Description

The Commissioners wish to commission a package of structured education for people with type 2 Diabetes. The service will provide education programmes in line with models of structured education outlined in NICE guidance. The service will promote the programmes to key partners and patients registered with GP practices in the Morecambe Bay CCG areas. The courses will include content and materials developed to meet the objectives outlined in the service specification. Courses will be delivered in a range of local settings paying particular emphasis to Primary Care Networks and Integrated care communities whose areas of deprivation are likely to experience a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes associated with socio-economic deprivation. Courses will be delivered at various times of day to meet patient need, including evenings and weekends where required, across the whole commissioning footprint paying particular emphasis to the areas highlighted above. The location of each course will be arranged according to population demand (i.e. courses will be local to the location that patients are being referred from) however there is an expectation that the provider pro-actively works with primary care settings to enable and facilitate referrals from areas of deprivation where there is significant prevalence of Type 2 diabetes. It is particularly expected that there is an understanding that some of this this co-hort by the very nature of some of the issues they are faced with, are particularly hard to reach, hard to engage and will require innovative ways and differing methodologies of engagement to avoid high attrition rates.
