Get Checked programme
From 1 July 2012, the Get Checked programme will be replaced with the Diabetes Care Improvement Package.
District health boards will use the funding currently allocated to the Get Checked programme to provide the Diabetes Care Improvement Package, planned in consultation with primary care. For more information, read the Ministry of Health position statement on the Get Checked programme (pdf, 12KB) or the Diabetes Care Improvement Package - Frequently Asked Questions (doc, 41KB)
Get Checked will continue to run until 30 June 2012.
The current objectives of the programme are to:
- systematically screen for the risk factors and complications of diabetes to promote early detection and intervention
- agree on an updated treatment plan for each person with diabetes
- update the information in the diabetes register used as a basis for clinical audit and planning improvements to diabetes services in the area
- prescribe treatment and refer for specialist or other care if appropriate.
