Improving access to diabetes technologies in children and young people with type 1 diabetes: Healthcare professionals' perspectives and views
Healthcare professionals appeared highly committed to addressing technology access disparities in CYP. While some of their recommendations may be easier to implement than others, our findings underscore the importance of adopting a joined-up, integrated approach to promoting equitable technology access across the UK. This would require closer collaboration and resource-sharing within and across sites, backed by sustainable, long-term funding, with a significant portion dedicated to increasing staffing capacity to support the practical implementation of these strategies.
