ABSTRACT

Ethnicity data audit in a secondary care gastroenterology service Jennifer Randle, Stephen Inns, Ricci Harris, Melissa McLeod This was a study measuring how accurate ethnicity listed on the hospital record was for 200 patients attending gastroenterology appointments at Hutt Hospital. Young people with type 2 diabetes living in more socio-economically deprived areas were more likely to have a delayed referral to specialist diabetes services and were less likely to attend diabetes clinic appointments, which was in turn associated with higher blood sugar levels.
