Diabetes prevalence

• It is estimated that over 5 million people in England are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes

• If current trends persist, one in ten people will develop Type 2 diabetes by 2034

• Since 1996 the number of people with diabetes in the UK has more than doubled from 1.4 million to 3.3 million

• Type 2 diabetes accounts for at least 90% of all cases of diabetes

Healthier You

• Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention programme has been developed collaboratively by NHS England, Public Health England and Diabetes UK

• Up to 100,000 places will be made available, across the country by 2020

• The NDPP will accept referrals from May with the opportunity for 4286 people to be supported within the next 2 years across Humber, Coast and Vale

Do Not Refer

• Under 18 Years
• Pregnant

In June 2016 the process for roll out of the Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) began with a first wave of 27 areas covering 26 million people, half of the population, and making up to 20,000 places available. In April 2017 the programme mobilised across a further 13 sustainability and transformation partnerships (STP), achieving 75% nationwide coverage.

By April 2017 over 48,000 people had been referred to the service with 18,000 people commencing on programmes to date. All remaining areas of England which are not currently included in the programme will commence during 2018.

The group sessions of 20 encourage peer support and build trust, therefore although some drop out is expected sessions will only start when there are enough motivated people to attend a group session. Please assist with the process by speaking to as many people as possible and referring those motivated to make change.

The service will be closely monitored by NHS England and ongoing review will determine whether referral rates need to be amended via increased contact with that eligible or more staged referral. The provider will be as flexible as they can with starting new groups in areas of demand
