  Title
  Service Users’ Perspectives on Accessing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Services within the East Riding of Yorkshire

  Background
  In the UK, 3.2 million people were diagnosed with diabetes in 2013 of which 90% of people are diagnosed with type 2.

  Diabetes related complications incur significant costs to the patient and NHS. To reduce the risk of complications NICE recommends yearly health checks and treatment targets. For people with type 2 diabetes in the East Riding of Yorkshire, 71.7% received all care processes, whilst only 37.8% achieved the treatment targets.

  Rational
  Capturing the perceptions of type 2 diabetes service users in the East Riding of Yorkshire will give further insight into the reasons for not meeting guidelines on reducing the risk of associated diabetes complications.

  Potential Benefits
  The findings will support relevant parties to further deliver effective, service user driven care within the East Riding of Yorkshire to suit type 2 diabetes service users’ needs in conjunction with delivering national and local standards of care. This may help to reduce spending.

  Study Design
  This study will be undertaken using sequential mixed research methods, taking a two staged approach. Stage one involves in-depth face-to-face interviews and focus group discussions with the findings being used to develop a questionnaire (stage two), which will also be peer reviewed by Hull and District Diabetes Support Group prior to distribution. The study ends 4 weeks after the last sent questionnaire.

  Recruitment
  Adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes will be recruited from G.P. surgeries, retinal screening and the diabetes centre databases. Care home staff will be recruited by direct contact with care homes.

  Funding was awarded partly through North Yorkshire and Humber Research Development service and Hull District Support group. The funding from Hull District Support group was open for all UK researchers and was awarded after peer review.
