The Bolton Diabetes Network last week launched BoND: Bolton's New Deal on Diabetes, at a meeting of over 100 front-line Diabetes care workers in the city. RED's Nick Morton and Colin Burns joined meeting Chairman, Dr. Stephen Liversedge, and the team from Bolton PCT, led by Dr. Jane Pennington, Nurse Consultant. Jane was one of the co-design team that worked with RED last year on developing new approaches to care for people living with Type II Diabetes.
The BoND team are rolling out the Agenda cards - a tool to help re-frame the Professional / Patient consultation process, and a supporting web site. 1,000 sets of cards will be deployed over the next few months, through a number of the GP practices within the PCT. The RED team are really delighted that this project
has such a strong on-going momentum in Bolton.
