Pre-existing Work helped. . In Slough, we had started the process 2 years earlier. Silver. Star charity partnership helped case identification in public places—mosques, gurdwaras, temples and churches. GP incentive scheme Pre-Diabetes LES helped create NDH Register. £ 3 for creating a register and £ 23 for face-to-face reviews. Hence Slough’s prevalance of Diabetes jumped from 7. 5% to 8. 4% and our estimated to actual prevalence proportion is nearly 95%

Options of Referral-pathways Two pronged approach. 1. Referring NDH patients opportunistically at annual review as part of LES.

Data extraction using CHART query and digital invitation and referral thereof.
