Welcome to the PCDS Website
The epidemic of diabetes is upon us. At last governments and health care systems are creating strategies they hope will quell the rising tide. At a time of great change in the NHS, new educational initiatives will focus on the promotion of healthier lifestyles while renewed media interest calls for a greater emphasis on the prevention and early detection of diabetes.
The National Service Framework for Diabetes, together with the new General Medical Services contract, has brought diabetes to the fore, and placed it firmly in the primary care domain.
Education and research
The PCDS is strongly committed to improving education for healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes and conducting research into the prevention or management of the condition. Two subcommittees meet regularly to discuss how the PCDS can support its members educationally or in conducting research. A grant is available in both of these areas. The grants are awarded to professional individuals involved in primary care diabetes for education in patient care and healthcare delivery, or for research or audit relevant to primary care in the UK. Each request will be reviewed on an individual basis.
