To ask the Scottish Government what training and education on diabetes is available to all healthcare professionals, and what percentage of healthcare professionals have received that training, broken down by body.
Answer
This information is not held centrally. However, the Scottish Diabetes Education Advisory Group (SDEAG) has been working with undergraduate medical education partners in order to ensure that appropriate education on diabetes is included in the curriculum. The Inpatient Sub-Group of the Scottish Diabetes Group has also been working to improve the ‘Think, Check, Act’ training module hosted by Healthcare Improvement Scotland.
The Type 2 Prevention Framework has also provided opportunities for several professional groups to participate in continued professional development, including training on trauma informed care and the psychological impact of overweight and obesity on diabetes management.

To ask the Scottish Government what it has identified as examples of quality improvement initiatives as a result of information highlighted in the diabetes dashboard.
Answer
As part of the implementation of the Diabetes Improvement Plan, we funded a Diabetes Improvement Lead post. The primary aim of this role was to support the sub-group chairs and key stakeholders to utilise data from the diabetes dashboard and implement quality improvement methodology across their programmes of work.
One example of this is the development of the quality index scoring system to enable teams to share learning and make best use of the SCI-Diabetes data. Other examples include mapping of current education processes across Scotland and ongoing tests of change to identify ‘Once for Scotland’ pathways for the delivery of diabetes education.

To ask the Scottish Government what it is doing to improve outcomes for children with diabetes in relation to their needs when attending early years services, school and out-of-school services.
Answer
The Scottish Government has published on supporting children and young people with healthcare needs in schools, and this guidance is available on our website. It was developed in partnership with a range of key stakeholders to guide those working in and with NHS boards, education authorities and schools to support children and young people affected by health issues which require specialised support in school.
The Scottish Diabetes Group and its sub-groups continue to consider these issues as we progress through the implementation of our Diabetes Improvement Plan.

Answer
As part of the Scottish Diabetes Group, we have a sub-group working specifically on pregnancy related projects. The pregnancy group are working closely with SCI-Diabetes leads to develop specific measures for the dashboard. These will help us to identify where and when improvements are being made and ensure we utilise the data to identify future opportunities or risks.
