Model of Care for All Children and Young People with Type 1 Diabetes

The Paediatric Diabetes Working Group, through the governance of the HSE/RCPI National Clinical Programmes for Paediatrics and Diabetes has developed a model of care for all children and young people with type 1 diabetes. In developing this model the multi disciplinary working group received input from international experts and consulted widely with healthcare professionals providing paediatric diabetes services. The views of children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes, and their parents, was sought with the help of Diabetes Ireland, and the feedback received helped to shape the development of the model.
