Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

intermediate care clinics (ICCs)

The ICCs will be community based. Their aim is to support primary care, particularly smaller practices that have the most difficulty achieving good control. They will comprise a multidisciplinary team, and be led by specialist nurses who will place an emphasis on education and self management. Medical care will be provided by a diabetologist. The ICC will work closely with hospital based specialist teams and community services including podiatry and dietetics. Team members will work to local guidelines, adapted from national evidence based guidelines. Guidelines for referral to the ICCs will be common across all sites, and will include people with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and those with poorly controlled cardiovascular risk factors.
