Implementation of an integrated neighbourhood holistic diabetes service to address the complex needs of patients with cardio-renal-metabolic diseases in Salford 

A Joint Working Project between Boehringer Ingelheim Limited and Salford Care Organisation (part of the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust), to design and implement an Integrated Neighbourhood Holistic Diabetes Service (INHDS) within 2 Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in Salford.

This collaboration will support high-risk diabetic patients with cardiac disease and renal dysfunction in an INHDS within Broughton PCN and Eccles and Irlam PCN. The project aims to validate a novel method, creating a blueprint for integrated diabetes care provision within the PCN, improve patient health outcomes, create a primary care workforce for the future, and transform the traditional care model.

The collaboration will identify, through audit and practice analysis, the most appropriate patients to benefit from intervention and optimisation through the newly created integrated service. This is expected to reduce unscheduled healthcare resource use and improve health outcomes for patients, demonstrating proof of concept for wider system transformation.

This project will aim to mobilise resources for a period of 18 months from January 2023 until end of June 2024.

Boehringer Ingelheim Limited is pleased to collaborate with The Northern Care Alliance (and affiliated partners) to design and deliver this innovative Joint Working Project.
