2018-10-25 - DPG Meeting

1

Welcome and Introductions

PAM

Each member of the group introduced themselves and included a short bio and expectations of the group.

2

Conflicts of Interest

PAM

There were no conflicts of interest.

2

Ways of working

PAM

Review of current proposals - see Diabetes Project Group Home

The 'Ways of working section' of the home page was reviewed. The general discussion did not result in any changes in principle to this section. There was some concern about the ability of the group to achieve a 2 week turnaround and therefore a 4 week turnaround would be more realistic.

3

Identification of diabetes sub-specialists

PAM

Where the management of diabetes complications fall within other medical specialties, how can we ensure that the content and it's modelling represents current internationally agreed terminology and understanding of pathophysiology etc.

A general discussion about the need and difficulty in sourcing diabetes specialists for each of the subdomains of diabetes e.g. diabetic eye disorders etc.

4

List of Diabetes Mellitus diagnoses

PAM

Initial review of current SCT DM Diagnoses - See attached file

The initial list of diabetes mellitus diagnoses identified by listing the subtypes from 73211009 | Diabetes mellitus (disorder) |. The list needs to be arranged in a more logical fashion matched against a current classification of diabetes mellitus.

5

Meeting schedule and times

PAM

We need to agree a meeting schedule and times which are suitable for the majority of group members, and if necessary alternate meeting times so as not to favour any one time zone.

The meeting agreed to meet again at the same time and day in 2 weeks. This topic would be discussed again at that time

6

AOB
