The first part of the guide focuses on reviewing the community diabetes caseload and supports community teams to think about standards of care, staffing and caseload management processes. The process can lead to nursing time being saved due to more effective working.

The second part is a guide for developing an insulin delegation programme, providing step-by-step guidance on developing the right policies and procedures, training and competency assessment, as well as clarifying the question of accountability.

The guide can be accessed at the Diabetes UK website here.
