Rowan Hillson Inpatient Safety Award 2023

We are inviting colleagues to submit entries which will be for:

Best innovation to improve patient safety when discharging from hospital

This JBDS – IP project is being led by Dr Umesh Dashora. The submissions will be judged against predetermined criteria, by an independent panel chaired by Rowan Hillson, and the winner will be presented with the prestigious annual Rowan Hillson Inpatient Safety Award at the ABCD Spring meeting 2023.  The outcome of this initiative will be published on the ABCD, Diabetes UK and DISN UK Group websites to share excellent practice.

Competitive applications are likely to be those that show hard evidence of benefit, that are translatable to other Trusts, are costed, are relatively simple and sustainable, and which have been commissioned or supported by an Acute Trust. This competition is open to all UK health care professionals. The attached document outlines the application, and the closing date is 28.02.23

JBDS Submission Form 2023

 

The Joint British Diabetes Societies (JBDS) for Inpatient Care group was created in 2008 to ‘deliver a set of diabetes inpatient guidelines and proposed standards of care within secondary care organisations’, with the overall aim of improving inpatient diabetes care through the development and use of high quality evidence based guidelines, and through better inpatient care pathways. The JBDS–IP group was created and supported by Diabetes UK, ABCD and the Diabetes Inpatient Specialist Nurse (DISN) UK group, and works with NHS England, TREND-UK and with other professional organisations.

A SurveyMonkey of JBDS-IP guidelines undertaken at the end of 2012 revealed:

  • Guidelines have been actively distributed (>21,000 copies, excluding downloads)
  • 85-100% responding teams were aware of the guidelines
  • >90% adoption in 118 UK Trusts for older guidelines, and around 50% for 2012 guidelines
  • Rated highly in terms of patient safety, overall quality and clinical value

The group administrator is Christine Jones and if you or your organisation would like to contribute to future guidelines please contact her (christine.jones@nnuh.nhs.uk).

The core members of JBDS-IP (listed below) include diabetes consultants and diabetes specialist nurses from across the UK, with all 4 nations represented. Twice yearly face to face meetings interspersed with teleconferences ensure regular contact between members.
