85 health professionals equipped with leadership skills needed to deliver change
Nobody is better placed than healthcare professionals to identify challenges in local health service delivery. Not only can those on the front line diagnose problems, they can also prescribe changes that improve patient outcomes and make health systems more efficient.
Diabetes is a case in point. The rapid rise in diabetes in Europe represents a significant burden on patients and poses a threat to the sustainability of health systems. In the UK alone, diabetes absorbs around 10% of the National Health Service budget. Much of this is spent on treating preventable complications of diabetes.
