Diabetes care for people experiencing homelessness in the UK: insights from a national survey of frontline professionals and the development of an integrated care model
Diabetes inequities among PEH stem chiefly from modifiable structural failures rather than patient non-adherence. The novel IHD-CMPH, anchored in outreach and mobile screening, provides a scalable framework to operationalise inclusion-health policy, improve glycaemic surveillance and avert avoidable admissions; this first national study translating multi-sector front-line evidence into a coherent policy model offers concrete levers for health-system reform and equity advancement.
