Diabetes inpatient and hospital care
You can use the following tools and resources to help you improve inpatient and hospital care for people living with diabetes in your healthcare system.
Everyone with diabetes has access to a range of healthcare professionals who can care for their complex needs. From their admission to discharge, they know they can contact the diabetes inpatient team if needed and will be cared for regardless of what day of the week it is.
No one with diabetes feels unsafe in hospital. Everyone with diabetes in hospital feels confident that those caring for them understand their needs. And healthcare professionals receive the training they need to offer the best care possible.
GIRFT is a national programme designed to improve the treatment and care of patients.
GIRFT is part of an aligned set of programmes within NHS England. The programme has the support of the Royal Colleges and professional associations.
The programme examines how things are currently being done and how they could be improved through in-depth review of services, benchmarking, and presenting a data-driven evidence base to support change.

Information for patients
Our goal
People with diabetes know what care to expect in hospital and feel able to ask for it. People are able to self-manage their diabetes where appropriate and have access to the right food at the right time during their stay. Â
Systems are in place that allow the diabetes inpatient team to identify people with diabetes and assess their risk, responding to those most in need. So that people with diabetes experience fewer harms
People with diabetes experience fewer harms in hospital because when errors occur, they are reported and action taken so they don't happen again. The diabetes inpatient team has processes in place to make sure mistakes are owned, understood and managed by the clinical teams involved.
