What is frequent reporting?
In addition to producing detailed annual reports on care received by children and young people from paediatric diabetes units (PDUs), we are asked by our commissioners (the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership - HQIP) to refresh data on key performance metrics at more frequent intervals and publish these outputs in the public domain.
Outputs are refreshed every quarter initially.

Please note that the data reported in this dashboard have not been subject to the same validation and cleaning processes that the core NPDA dataset is subjected to as part of the production process for annual reports. Results may therefore be subject to change between dashboard updates and before the annual report publication.

Guidance
We encourage you to read the below frequently asked questions (FAQs) to ensure that you fully understand the dashboard and the data within.
More information about how we collect data can be found on our data submission and transparency and open dataÌýpages.
- What data is included?
-
Only data from children and young people whose data have been submitted before the specified download dateÌýin each quarter will be included in the reports.
Only data for the NPDA key performance indicators will be refreshed in quarterly outputs. Performance data will be available at several layers, including PDUs, Health Boards/Integrated Care Services, Regional networks, NHS England Regions, and nationally. All other analyses will be performed at the end of the audit year when preparing the annual reports.
Please note that the data is provisional, and may be subject to change between quarterly updates and before the annual report publication.
- Why are some data points replaced by asterisks?
-
Small numbers have been replaced by asterisks in these reports. This has been done to protect patient confidentiality and ensure no patient-identifiable information is published. This is in line with the RCPCH data disclosure risk management policy.
- What's the difference between 0% and No data?
-
- 0% means that the site scored 0% on that performance indicator.
- 'No data' means that the selected site submitted no data for that measure.
- * represents small numbers which have been suppressed/masked for patient confidentiality.
If your selected report states 'No data' for all points, it means that no patient records have been completed in that level of granularity.
- When are reports updated?
-
In the first instance, dashboards will be updated quarterly. The refresh dates will be in May, July, and October.
- Why doesn't my PDU's data look right?
-
If you are concerned that the data displayed in the dashboard does not represent the data entered, please let us know atÌýnpda@rcpch.ac.uk. These data are provisional and allow for extra qualityÌýassurance where data entry can be corrected before the annual analysis and reporting.Ìý
If your PDUÌýhas not submitted any data before the download date, then your data will show 'No data'.
- Why has my PDU's data changed drastically between reports?
-
Quarterly outputs only represent the data submitted by each download date. If data is not submitted prospectively, for example, if more data is submitted in the last quarter, each quarterly report will differ from the previous update and may be very different to the annual report. This may also affect how your data compares to your peers and to regional/national averages, and it is important to keep this in mind when interpreting the data presented here.Ìý
If you are a clinician submitting NPDA data, you can improve the data within the dashboard, and its use by your service, by submitting data prospectively throughout the year.
