Hosted by BDA First Contact Dietitians Specialist Group
This webinar explores the expanding role of dietitians working in Primary Care in delivering high value Type 2 diabetes care in line with the 2026/27 GP contract and updated QOF requirements.
It provides a forum for dietitians to share good practice, demonstrate impact, and discuss practical approaches that support completion of NICE recommended diabetes care processes, optimise weight and glycaemic outcomes.
Through peer learning and real world examples, the session will support dietitians to evidence their contribution to QOF delivery while aligning diabetes care with national priorities to deliver more care closer to home.
