Introduction
Welcome to OHID’s diabetes profile. This profile provides information on the distribution and determinants of diabetes, measures of patient treatment and care and diabetes-related complications.
Diabetes Foot Care Profiles
The National Cardiovascular Intelligence Network (NCVIN) produces diabetes footcare profiles for each CCG in England. They are based on data taken from Hospital Episode Statistics, the National Diabetes Audit and the Quality and Outcomes Framework.
A spreasheet containing the latest update for these indicators can be found here. An accompanying technical document is also available. These statistics were last updated in January 2023.
CVD Profiles: Diabetes Profile
The NCVIN CVD profiles present an overview of data on the cardiovascular, and cardiovascular related, conditions of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease. The profiles are for commissioners and health professionals when assessing the impact of cardiovascular disease on their local population and making decisions about services.
National Diabetes Audit data
The National Diabetes Audit (NDA) is a major national clinical audit, which measures the effectiveness of diabetes healthcare against NICE Clinical Guidelines and NICE Quality Standards, in England and Wales. This site includes indicators from the National Diabetes Audit, to allow comparative analysis across both GP practices and CCGs in England regarding diabetes care, treatment and outcomes. This data is available by clicking the 'Start' button on the top right of this page.

- Informing commissioning decisions
- Supporting service improvements
- Programme evaluation
The data used for the indicators comes from different sources, including: routine primary care data, national survey data, national clinical audit data and hospital records.
The indicators provide information on the distribution and determinants of diabetes, measures of patient treatment and care and diabetes-related complications.
Where the data is available, this profile allows the indicators to be viewed at numerous geographies, against different benchmarks and over different time-periods. As well as accessing and downloading the indicators through the fingertips platform.
