So excited, after 5 yrs of work - we're about to help lots & lots of people living with #diabetes - the NHS pilot of Diabetes e-passport. It's just about ready to roll 👍 @parthaskar @StephenDixonTV @ShafieMSK @AmarPut @andrealacey4 @MelCurtis16 @SurendranAarthi @DrMohamedBakhit

[Simon Blood @EIOSimon]

⭐ In 2021 we delivered 2000 Diabetes e-Passports to 7 NHS trusts.

⭐ We are officially closing the pilot down & closing access to the system. It would be great to hear any feedback.

⭐ Thanks to @parthaskar @ShafieMSK @novonordisk & others for your help.

In ending the pilot, I can only say thank you for the opportunity to make a difference.

In working with the diabetes community you have shown me the importance of engaging with the challenge ahead to help improve insulin and patient safety.

We need to ensure that paper based systems are a thing of the past and that we connect the dots in a digital world. Certain barriers need to be overcome first. #health

@parthaskar I think I put the wrong Twitter handle on here!

Might need to start building an ark. Listening to the rain outside we are about to be washed away! #northeast

Is the hospital passport similar to the Diabetes e-Passport?

[GBDoc @GBDocInfo]

We're at the @UK_diabetes annual conference representing @GBDocInfo. We've already seen a great selection of leaflets including a hospital passport and information for schools. We'll tell you about more!

[Simon Blood @EIOSimon]

A wider rollout for this is needed. Something that doesn't cost the earth to produce and beats paper based solutions for patient safety. #DiabetesAwarenessMonth #diabetes #nhs

The Diabetes e-Passport (David vs Goliath project!) Currently piloting in 7 NHS trusts as NHS England/Novo Nordisk project.

Created from a number of individuals simply getting together to try & make things better for the #diabetes community. Works worldwide & helps keep you safe

[Simon Blood @EIOSimon]

We evolved the system so that both healthcare practitioners and patients had an input into their diabetes care. The e-Passport was just one method of accessing that information. Could store insulin details inc photos as well as foot care plans for example.

[Simon Blood @EIOSimon]

So proud of what we achieved. 2000 Diabetes e-Passports delivered to 7 NHS hospitals. The possibilities for this are endless. Development into apps and other physical items. The goal was keeping people safe. We just need it on a wider scale now! #nhs #diabetes #safety

@Sheenak_90 @siblood @TeamNUH Hi Sheena, sorry for the late reply. The pilot is ongoing but we would be happy if a trust was interested in funding this to spread the project further. Please let me know if you are interested - my email is [email protected] - Thanks.

This was Kharkiv in 2013 when I visited. So sad to see what is happening today. #StandWithUkraine

[Simon Blood @EIOSimon]

@suanntee Fingers crossed. Hopefully the pilot is successful but due to COVID and the pandemic has been delayed.

My wife is currently Day 11 for COVID.

Tested negative LFT - Days 5/6/7 but still had symptoms.

Tested positive LFT - Days 8/9/10 and today but no symptoms.

Has this happened to anybody else? I know official guidance is after 10 days all is ok but don't trust this!?
