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.

PRIMARY CARE DIABETES SOCIETY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when considering the Society’s objectives and activities. PCDS Constitution and policy documents are available on the PCDS Website and include: Code of Conduct, Conflicts of Interest, Equality and Diversity, Pharmaceutical Industry funding.
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. This year the election process has been under review in order to secure representation across the nations and also professional groups. The election process will be submitted for approval at AGM 2024.
PCDS has charity status in both England (Charities Commission) & Scotland (OSCR). Our committee represents 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.
The PCDS have future plans to change their name officially to Primary Care Diabetes & Obesity Society. Until the name change takes place, they will continue as Primary Care Diabetes Society operating as Primary Care Diabetes & Obesity Society (PCDO).
Activities and Achievements in the Year August 2023-24
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 18,000 healthcare professionals as at August 2024.
Committee meetings and sub-committee meetings were held face-to-face in September and December 2023 and January, May and June (virtual) 2024. Conferences in the five nations took place face-to-face and included sessions and masterclasses relevant to primary care practitioners.
PCDS held an online webinar on Early Onset Type 2 Diabetes. PCDS also held a SMART London conference face-to-face on Diabetes and obesity within multiple long-term conditions.
Joint PCDS and ABCD consensus guidance on managing supply shortages of GLP-1 RAs, first published in July 2023, was updated in March 2024 and was shared widely and adopted across the UK and much of Europe.
Two surveys of the membership - one regarding healthcare professional knowledge of and barriers to obesity management in primary care, and one on continuous glucose monitoring in conjunction with the ABCD Diabetes Technology Network UK – were conducted, the results of which were shared with the members and will be used to plan educational activities in 2024-2025.

PRIMARY CARE DIABETES SOCIETY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
- Collaborate with other professional organisations, charities, governmental bodies, and pharmaceutical companies to support healthcare professionals working in the field of diabetes and improve diabetes care for people living with diabetes, their families and carers.
The PCDS committee continues to reflect and consider the longer-term impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on diabetes services, consider new recommendations and technologies for diabetes and share guidance on recover of services and risk stratification in primary care teams.
Financial review
The Society’s total income in the year was £70,718 (2023: £174,464) as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 11. The Society’s net income for the year was £7,685 (2023: net income of £2,309). This has been credited to reserves.
Going concern
Having assessed the Charity’s financial position and plans for the foreseeable future, 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 2024 of £ 221,545 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 £ 50,000. The PCDS will use some of the reserves to invest in training for committee members in areas such as presentation and social media skills, which will help to raise the profile of the society as well as enhance future projects and plans.
The PCDS are also investing in a series of podcasts and other educational activities such as modules and videos which will be funded directly by the PCDS rather than through sponsorship.
Risk Management
The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have taken applicable action to manage those risks.
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
7
PRIMARY CARE DIABETES SOCIETY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
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:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

PRIMARY CARE DIABETES SOCIETY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
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. The aim of the society is to support every healthcare professional in primary and community care to deliver high-quality, clinically effective care for people with diabetes or obesity and associated long-term conditions.
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 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investments (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as Amended) and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
The accounts have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).
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.
The charity has cash resources and has no requirements for external funding. The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They continue to believe the going concern basis of accounting appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements.
Having assessed the Charity’s financial position and plans for the foreseeable future, 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.
13
PRIMARY CARE DIABETES SOCIETY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
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.
Income
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and can been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when the funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Foreign Currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the transaction.
14
PRIMARY CARE DIABETES SOCIETY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.
Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised when the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
Members’ Liabillity
The company is a Company limited by guarantee and is a registered Charity. Each members’ liability would be limited to an amount not exceeding £10 in the event of the company winding up. There are 20 members for the purposes as the year end. Members for liability purpose are regarded as the Trustees’ of the PCDS.
