Brief description People with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffer from significant morbidity and premature mortality. Studies suggest a substantial gap between current recommended practices and treatment targets, which may be related to existing health services being unable to respond to these patients’ complex needs. This project aims to address this gap, by characterising the needs of patients, and the location, capacity and performance of existing health services. This work will ultimately inform the design of a new model of care.
