031A NHS DPP Eligibility

The NDPP provides specifications for eligibility for the programme, but different areas of the country occasionally have differing requirements in relation to the age of the qualifying results.

Eligibility criteria for the NDPP are:
  1. Patients aged 18 or older (some areas may have an upper age limit)
  2. Not diagnosed with diabetes
  3. Not frail
  4. Not receiving palliative care
  5. No recent episodes relating to an eating disorder in the previous 3 years
  6. No history of bariatric surgery in the previous 2 years
  7. Not pregnant
This folder takes all of the above criteria into account to produce a cohort that is 'Eligible for NHS DPP' 



Patients have been stratified into varying groups based on their blood result:
      a) the most recent HbA1c was reported in the past 12 months and was between 44 and 47.
      b) the most recent HbA1c was reported in the past 12 months and was 42 or 43.
      c) the patient did not have a raised HbA1c in the past 12 months, but there is a recorded fasting blood glucose which is at least 5.5
      d) the most recent HbA1c was between 12 and 24 months ago and was elevated between 44 and 47. In some areas this result will be sufficient for referral, but in other areas request repeat test ASAP.
      e) the most recent HbA1c was recorded more than 2 years ago and was in the pre-diabetic range. Patients should be reviewed and repeat tests arrange as appropriate.
      f) the most recent HbA1c (in the past 2 years) is at least 48 but there is no formal diabetes diagnosis. Facilitate urgent review.

031B NHS DPP Participation
If patients who have been referred to the NDPP have various progress or outcome codes on their record, this collection of searches will help Practices understand the situation across their currently registered patients. Patients who have left or died are not shown for the top 3 searches so they are not necessarily reflective of all historic activity.

Patients Referred to NHS DPP in last 2 years does account for patients who have left or died, meaning this search can be used to understand overall recent activity.
