Year of Care

What is Year of Care?

The words self management and empowerment are frequently used when people talk about the future of diabetes care.

But how can healthcare professionals support and empower individual people to effectively self-manage their diabetes? 

How can we ensure that the right services are available locally to help people achieve their individual health goals, whether that’s losing weight or getting back out on the football field? 

These are two questions the Year of Care programme aims to address.  To find out more about the programme, its underlying philosophy or progress to date use the links to the left. 

If you have any questions about the Year of Care, want to share information about other programmes or wish to receive regular progress updates, please email James Thomas at yearofcare@diabetes.org.uk.
