The DAFNE Collaborative. Experiences of developing a nationally delivered evidence‐based, quality‐assured programme for people with type 1 diabetes

This article describes the process by which the DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating) Collaborative developed and maintained the integrity of the programme during the national roll‐out across diabetes services. The costs of maintaining the integrity and quality of the programme account for a significant proportion of the cost of DAFNE; however, the cost per patient is now almost half that of previously quoted figures.
