Interventions
Phase 1 will be a 3-month run-in for the project that will employ the project team in developing the application of the intervention in two practices similar to the 16 practices but not to be part of
the support to reach all key performance indicators will also be carried out. After 14 months there will be a 6-week data collection and qualitative data for the intervention and control group.

| The secondary outcome measures of this study aims to evaluate the experience of staff and patients who participated in the intervention within the Coventry & Rugby CCGs, using qualitative methods. We will conduct a qualitative study in parallel to the trial, the aim of which is to provide insight into participants’ experiences of taking part in the experimental intervention. As the trial has two arms (intervention and control groups), three qualitative methods (group evaluation meetings [one pre-intervention and another post-intervention], observation, and 1-1 semi-structured face-to-face interviews) will be used to understand both the patients and staff views regarding the intervention. The research will be carried out by a researcher trained and experienced in qualitative research methodologies, supported by second researcher as follows: 1. First, a one-off purposive evaluation group meeting involving both patients and staff will be organised prior to the intervention with 8-12 key participants. The researcher will share existing evidence of some of the benefits of implementing diabetes services in the primary care settings rather than in hospital clinics. The meeting will then seek the views and reasons for participation and what the participants intend to achieve. Participants will be engaged to identify and discuss the types of clinical sessions that can be removed from hospital clinics and transferred into general practices as part of the integrated Community Diabetes Service, and the potential benefits. 2. Observations - Observations will take place at the beginning, middle and towards the end of the of the intervention at 2-3 clinics/consultations to make comparisons of what has been said/agreed or done to what actually happened during the intervention duration, whilst making notes on the changes or differences. This approach is useful in collecting data in naturally occurring behaviours and contexts and will enable the researcher to question, understand | — |
