NDISA is part of the National Diabetes Audit (NDA) programme within the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP), commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) on behalf of NHS England and the Welsh Government.
NDISA has 2 main strands:
Firstly, NDISA undertakes a continuous collection of serious inpatient harms that can affect people with diabetes. This collection was previously known as the National Diabetes Inpatient Audit (NaDIA) harms audit. Data collection began on 1 May 2018. All acute hospitals in England and Wales with inpatients with diabetes are eligible to participate.
Secondly NDISA reviews the provision of inpatient services using the Integrated Specialist Services (ISS) Survey, an NDA questionnaire which asks healthcare providers whether they have put in place structures and systems of care for people with diabetes recommended by the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme.
NHS England are currently reviewing the routine production of NDA State of the Nation reports. Please note that data will still be released via dashboards and standalone data files whilst this review is being conducted. To help inform this review we would be grateful if users can provide feedback on their use of the State of the Nation reports using the feedback survey available in the ‘Resources' section of this page.
