Type 2 diabetes is prevalent in the UK, accounting for approximately 90% of all diabetes cases among adults. With approximately 3.8 million individuals currently affected in England, and about 200,000 new diagnoses yearly, Type 2 diabetes poses a substantial medical and socioeconomic burden. The National Health Service (NHS) spends at least £10 billion annually on managing this condition. The majority of the financial burden goes towards managing the associated complications, which constitutes approximately 80% of total diabetes expenditure

The Public Health Community Services Dashboard is a product of the Knowledge, Evidence, and Governance team in the Public Health Division of Birmingham City Council. It has been developed, together with relevant public health leads, to help understand the significant disparity in public health commissioned healthcare service delivery to the population. The objective of this dashboard is to provide effective visualisations that illustrate the variation in public health healthcare service provision at primary care network (PCN) and locality levels. The dashboard utilizes data from NHS Health Checks (HC), exercise prescription from Be Active +, QOF (primary care Quality Outcomes Framework data), smoking cessation, and long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) data.
