All Wales Diabetes Prevention Programme (AWDPP) Equity Toolkit

This toolkit aims to support those planning, managing and delivering the AWDPP, to take a behaviourally informed approach to promote and enable equitable access and uptake of the programme

In 2021, baseline data found that there was an inequitable approach across Wales to diabetes prevention.

The All Wales Diabetes Prevention Programme (AWDPP) is a Wales wide prevention programme which aims to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) in those identified to be at high risk.

It aims to facilitate a systematic and equitable approach to T2D prevention across Wales to reduce the variation in T2D prevention in primary care.

Health Boards and Primary Care Clusters (PCC) have a duty to provide equitable and fair health care services and have systems and processes to support this. Local service providers will therefore need to consider and support equitable access and uptake of the AWDPP across diverse groups and communities within the population they serve.
