PRIMARY CARE DIABETES SOCIETY

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

Objectives and Aims

The Society’s objectives are to promote and protect health for the benefit of the public, in particular by advancing the education of health care professionals working in diabetes care and promoting research into the cause, cure and treatment of diabetes and publishing its results.

The Society supports every primary care healthcare professional to deliver high quality, clinically effective care, in order to improve the lives of people living with diabetes.

As a society member you will benefit from access to:

Together as a Society we will:

Governance and Management

The Charity is governed by its memorandum and articles of association dated 24 August 2004 as amended by special resolutions 18 June 2005 and 18 December 2012.

The PCDS committee are the trustees of the charity. We meet formally throughout the year to discuss current issues affecting people living with diabetes and their families and support those delivering their care including carers and healthcare professionals. Our aim is to improve diabetes care and knowledge. Some of the activities we have been involved in over the last year are listed below. All trustees work full-time or part-time (at least 50% of their time) for either the NHS or HSE (Health Service Executive - Republic of Ireland) and current roles within the committee include; GPs, diabetes specialist nurses, practice nurses, dietitian and a pharmacist.

The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when considering the Society’s objectives and activities.

PRIMARY CARE DIABETES SOCIETY

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

PCDS is chaired by Dr C Hambling who was appointed in November 2018.

Trustees serve for a 3 year term after which their position is up for re-election. All Trustees are elected from the current membership.

PCDS has charity status in both England (Charities Commission) & Scotland (OSCR). Our committee represents what we call the five nations; England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. Although the health needs of people with diabetes from the five nations are essentially similar we find that there are some differences, particularly around service design, which are addressed by our national subcommittees.

Activities and Achievements in the Year August 2019-20

The PCDS trustees believe that one of the ways to make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of people with diabetes, their families and carers, is by advancing the knowledge of the healthcare professions delivering diabetes care. Membership continues to grow with over 17,243 healthcare professionals as at January 2020.

Due to the Covid 19 Pandemic and restrictions PCDS committee has worked differently. Committee meetings have been held virtually and conferences planned for 2020 were cancelled. Where possible, these were re scheduled as virtual conferences with updated content more suited to the current situation. SMART updates were rescheduled as virtual sessions with availability of associated materials such as FAQ documents.

Guidance was produced in April 2020 for Remote diabetes service delivery and has been shared widely. A webinar on Remote consultations was delivered in July 2020 and has been available on demand, with over 8000 views.

PCDS chair and committee members have participated in National Recovery Plan (NHS England) and promoted joint working with ABCD regarding resetting diabetes services post covid. Work is ongoing to network with ABCD and DUK regarding development of new ways of working and future development of integrated systems of care for diabetes. PCDS is represented on CaReMe (Cardiac, Renal Metabolic Group) regarding integrated care.

Advancement in Education

Over the last year the PCDS has:

The Alumni committee was established to ensure quality of PCDS service and education is maintained and supported. Dr Brown is the Editor in Chief of the Diabetes and Primary Care Journal and Dr Khunti is Research advisor.

Advancement of health and saving lives

The trustees believe that working in collaboration with other organisations, charities, academic and government bodies is an effective way to draw together knowledge and expertise which benefits people living with diabetes and makes a positive impact in the delivery of diabetes care. This year the trustees have worked with ABCD, Diabetes UK, Royal College of General Practitioners, Royal College of Physicians, NHS England National Recovery Plan Group, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, National Diabetes Audit, Royal Pharmaceutical Society and the Institute for Diabetes in Older People IDOP, SIGN, TREND, CaReMe Group, WEDS (Welsh Endocrine and Diabetes Society), National Service Advisory Group for Wales.

PRIMARY CARE DIABETES SOCIETY

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

Modules are updated and reviewed by members of the committee. An education subcommittee reviews the workplan for modules required and the development of Clinical Hubs. Educational links are maintained with University of Warwick, Leicester University and other groups delivering diabetes education for staff.

Other Groups :

We support the continued work of the Parliamentary and Stakeholders Diabetes Think Tank which is a collaboration between healthcare professions, parliament and industry.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group for diabetes (APPG) with representation from the Department of Health, House of Lords, healthcare professionals, academic institutes, diabetes charities and patient user groups continues to meet to discuss ways to improve diabetes care and the lives of people living with diabetes. We continue to have active representation on this group, including a political subcommittee that feeds back to the PCDS committee.

PCDS is represented at The National Diabetes Audit (Adults) and is an active stakeholder for NICE for diabetes related guidelines/statements.

Advancement of science

The PCDS believes that quality research is vital in providing evidence-based quality diabetes care. The PCDS research subcommittee meets throughout the year to look at ways of supporting or taking part in research. This year PCDS survey was launched for impact of Covid 19 in primary care.

Plans for the future

Over the next year PCDS will continue to:

PRIMARY CARE DIABETES SOCIETY

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

The PCDS committee continue to reflect and consider the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on diabetes services and share guidance on resetting services and risk stratification.

Financial review

The Society’s total income in the year was £178,153 (2019: £412,744) as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 11. The Society’s net income for the year was £ 2,853 (2019: net income of £14,488). This has been credited to reserves.

Going concern

Having assessed the Charity’s financial position and plans for the foreseeable future and taking into account the impact of Covid-19, the Trustees are satisfied there are no material uncertainties and that it remains appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.

Reserves policy

The charity held total funds as at 31 August 2020 of £174,850 of which all is unrestricted.

The reserves policy of the Society is to maintain a level of free reserves to cover any future commitments and liabilities. The Trustees aim for the level of free reserves to be at a minimum one year’s operational costs, which equates to approximately £35,000. Actual free reserves were £ 174,850 at the year end.

The Trustees have taken consideration of the impact of Covid-19 post year end and note that this does impact on the existing reserves policy which continue to be appropriate for the Charity’s activities.

Risk management

The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have taken applicable action to manage those risks. This has included a review of the impact of Covid-19 on the Charity’s activities for which appropriate measures have been put in place as mitigation.

Statement of responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also directors of Primary Care Diabetes Society for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

PRIMARY CARE DIABETES SOCIETY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

1. COMPANY INFORMATION

The Charity is a private limited company (registered number 5213119), which is incorporated and domiciled in the UK. The address of the registered office is 108 Cannon Street, London, EC4N 6EU.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2016, the Charities and Trustee Investments (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as Amended) and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Having assessed the Charity’s financial position and plans for the foreseeable future and taking into account the impact of Covid-19, the Trustees are satisfied there are no material uncertainties and that it remains appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, which are described below, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.

In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
