DWELL involves eight partners from the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands and France.

 

More than €1.9 million (£1.6 million) of European funding (from the European Regional Development Fund) has been secured by a cross-border partnership to develop a pan-European approach to tackling Type 2 diabetes.

 

The objective of this project is to enable participants to access tailored support that gives them the mechanisms they need to control their condition.  The participant journey through the project starts with participant –focused  agenda setting, then participants are introduced to other support networks (community and local health service) and have the opportunity to create their own communities of support (through shared interests and activities).  A participant -focused care plan will increase engagement, adherence to treatment and improved health measures.
