The Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) has published a document on access to new technologies for people with diabetes that concludes the current system for reviewing and launching new technology within a health economy is not fit for purpose.
The publication, Increasing the Uptake of New Technologies in Diabetes: Recommended Actions, summarises the findings from a meeting of interested parties including patients, clinicians, commissioners and administrators.
Recommendations include a call for a national approach to new technologies, a review of funding systems and identifying clinical leaders to lead change and deliver it.
