Diabetes Week is a week to make some noise, raise awareness and shout about the things that matter to people with diabetes, shining a light on what it’s like to live with day in, day out. In Birmingham and Solihull, one of the available programmes to refer your patients to is Oviva Diabetes Structured Education Programme (DSE).

Oviva DSE is a 100% remote, 12-week, digital behaviour-change programme that offers the following benefits to patients:

• On average 4.3kg weight loss
• Improvement in HbA1c 
• Potential for diabetes remission

1. Referrals can come from Primary Care; the referral form is embedded on your clinical system.  Remember to tell your patients to expect contact from Oviva via email.
2. Alternatively, patients can self-refer, form found on our website (they will need date of diagnosis and HbA1c to complete this).

Referrals generated to this programme of patients within 9 months of diagnosis contribute to QOF diabetes care processes.
