About

The purpose of this study is to establish the most effective method of increasing attendance to screening of type 2 Diabetes within a primary care setting within the backdrop of the NHS Health Check programme.

Full description

The University Hospitals of Leicester and The University of Leicester have developed a self-assessment risk score and a practice data risk score that can be used in a variety of setting to detect undiagnosed diabetes and impaired glucose regulation. This is done to establish a simple and effective 1st stage screen to identify those people at risk of diabetes and engage the public to increase the number of high risk individuals attending screening invitations but reducing the overall number of oral glucose tolerance tests. This study aims to test in a pragmatic way the use of such tools in a primary care setting administered by primary care staff as part of the NHS Health Check programme.

432 participants in 2 patient groups

Self Assessment

Active Comparator group

Description:

Patients are approached and asked to complete a risk score that will determine their current risk of diabetes and the likelihood of requiring further testing.

Treatment:

Other: Self Assessment

Electronic risk score

Active Comparator group

Description:

Patients diabetes riks is determined based on their data held on practice systems. Patients are then invited for further testing based on this score.

Treatment:

Other: Electronic risk score
