National Paediatric Diabetes Audit (NPDA)

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) has been awarded funding by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Programme (HQIP) to carry out the paediatric component of the National Diabetes Audit.

This important three-year project is run in partnership with Imperial College London and with the close involvement of the British Society for Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes (BSPED), the Association of Children’s Diabetes Clinicians (ACDC), NHS Diabetes, Diabetes UK, a number of stakeholder organisations, regional networks, children and young people with diabetes and their families.

The RCPCH aims to reinvigorate this high profile national audit and introduce a number of innovations and efficiencies, including measures of patient experience and the use of innovative approaches to data collection, that minimise the burden on clinicians. 

Professor Neena Modi, Vice President, Science and Research said: 

'The RCPCH is privileged to be leading this national programme that will improve the care provided to children with diabetes, their outcomes and experiences and that of their families. The Children’s Diabetes Audit will complement the other national programmes and audits led by the RCPCH for the benefit of all children.'

The RCPCH Lead for the project is Dr Justin Warner, Consultant Pediatrician.
