Diabetes and the new GMS contract — a secondary care perspective

Department of Diabetes, Poole Hospital NHS Trust, Longfleet Road, Poole, Dorset, BH15 2JB, UK, mike.masding{at}poole.nhs.uk

Wendy Gatling

Drs Masding and Gatling consider the potential of the new GMS contract in the standardisation of diabetes investigations and treatments in primary care in the light of a 78 practice audit in Dorset. Glycaemic control in patients treated by diet alone and hypertension control were selected as aspects of clinical care where audit could be used to influence outcome.
