Diabetes project hub
Uniquely positioned in Scotland, DHI leads Diabetes Innovation by fostering collaborative partnerships with the NHS, industry, and academia. Their innovative model brings together health professionals, policymakers, and individuals with lived diabetes experiences to drive forward new ideas, technologies, and opportunities for funding and support.
“The ‘Transforming Diabetes Care Through Innovation’ report was a powerful document that has helped us shape how we utilise innovation within diabetes care. It not only provides an excellent summary of the existing innovation work streams across Scotland but also identified priority areas where innovation could make a positive impact for individuals living with diabetes in the future.
One of the major strengths of this project was the high level of engagement across the entire diabetes community. The creative approaches to engagement ensured good ‘buy in’ from healthcare professionals and more importantly citizens living with diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
