Diabetes Blueprint Report

In July 2021, the Midlands Health Alliance, Midlands Engine and Novo Nordisk hosted a roundtable discussion to consider this impact. The roundtable brought together diabetes clinical experts and other partners from across the region to explore the challenge this impact poses to the health of the region’s population and to the economy and how this might be addressed. This included identifying best practice already taking place within the Midlands and considering further opportunities for regional collaboration, to help improve outcomes for local people living with diabetes.

By bringing together these experts to discuss how to continue to tackle this challenge, it has been possible to develop a blueprint for improved health and socio-economic outcomes for people living with diabetes. This includes examples of successful projects and initiatives already underway across the Midlands.

By capturing and sharing key actions and principles in this report, partners within and beyond the Midlands will have tools at hand to implement new approaches, building on the work carried out by experts within the Midlands.
