Diabetes

Each QiC Programme highlights good healthcare practice and effective collaboration between the NHS, patient groups and the industry in specific therapy areas. This new approach to joint working is essential in these challenging economic times as the NHS strives to continue offering a world-beating service.

QiC will cover diabetes, a long term-condition that effects nearly three million people in the UK and costs the NHS £9bn annually, making it one of the biggest challenges facing our healthcare system today.

We are passionate about using QiC to recognise the past and shape the future – but we need your help to do it!
