The Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP) is a 9-month behaviour change programme. It supports people with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia or a past diagnosis of gestational diabetes to live healthier lifestyles and reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. 

In Camden, GP referrals to NDPP are low compared to other NCL boroughs. 

Practices are encouraged to refer patients via the new self-referral pathway, through sending an Accurx SMS message to eligible patients with the self-registration form link. 

Across NCL, NDPP is delivered by Living Well, Taking Control (LWTC) via face-to-face and tailored remote groups and digitally by Liva Healthcare. LWTC offer 1:1 support and webinars for GP practices, which staff are encouraged to attend.

More information and GP practice guidance on the NDPP, including referral pathways and SMS templates, can be found on the service page. 

For any queries about the LWTC programme, contact Luke Frampton, Compliance & GP Liaision Officer (NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme).
