<strong>DIABETES</strong> <strong>ACTION</strong> <strong>PLAN</strong> <strong>2010</strong><br />
QUALITY CARE FOR <strong>DIABETES</strong> IN SCOTLAND<br />
The best way of enhancing the effectiveness of the diabetes MCNs is by making sure<br />
there is strong participation on the part of people living with diabetes and the voluntary<br />
sector organisations which support them. This issue is dealt with in section 5.1.2.<br />
It is also essential that Primary Care should play a full role in the work of the MCNs, given<br />
that that is the setting in which the majority of diabetes professional care is delivered.<br />
There is a role for the Primary Care Diabetes Society in promoting primary care teams’<br />
participation in the work of the diabetes MCNs.<br />
The diabetes MCNs should continue to evolve and adapt in the light of implementation<br />
of the Action Plan and other developments, with the overall aim of providing fully<br />
integrated services that address the totality of the needs of people living with diabetes.<br />
One possible development that the Scottish Diabetes Group will wish to keep in mind is<br />
the transformation of diabetes MCNs into diabetes Managed Care Networks, the<br />
difference being that Managed Care Networks would be more clearly understood as<br />
embracing people’s social and other care needs in addition to their healthcare needs.<br />
