Jarl Hellman at the Department of Medical Sciences, Chair of the Diabetes Council – congratulations on first place!
“Thank you! It is incredibly fun, a teamwork really, and structured quality work at the core with many enthusiasts who have been persistent for a long time. Nothing like this has ever happened in diabetes care in Uppsala, and it really deserves attention. We have historically had problems with poor data, both in hospitals and primary healthcare, if you look a little further back in time, then it has become progressively better actually.
“Incidentally, this is the very first time that this solid analysis of diabetes care has been made with both quality data from Register and a large basis of patient surveys with 40% response. Then there is potential for improvement, of course, and gratifying also, considering our multidisciplinary Centre of Excellence for type 1 diabetes that has been here at Uppsala University Hospital since 2012.
“With a strong focus on healthcare, education and research, we – Uppsala University Hospital, Region Uppsala and Uppsala University in collaboration – can continue contributing to a better life for diabetes patients.”
