I haven't been offered a care plan, and for men, that's fine. I didn't about the meter request logging.
@ally , this sounds like a great opportunity.
GP's are only targeted to have 2% of their patients with care plans. The GP's identify who should have them. Our Practice specified that all residents within their 9 residential homes should have the.
This is why I am trying to say that your GP has identified you Ally as needing a care plan. You are one of only 2% of patients to get this extra monitoring and planning.
They certainly should listen and log the Patients concerns and requests, and state the reasons why if they refuse blood strips.
Care plans only came in to Practices as of April 2014 and are not deemed to be for certain illnesses, certainly diabetes is not enough to get yourself a care plan. This is why, from a previous posting from Ally that I am surprised that this has not been followed up.
The aim of care plans is to work with patients, Carers etc to keep them out of hospitals and having patients properly managed in the community and avoiding unplanned admittances in to hospitals.
