Before you start The NPDA is an audit of the care processes received and outcomes of all children and young
people with diabetes in England and Wales. Data collected through the audit is reported
annually at unit, region, CCG/LHB and national level, with STP reporting commencing in
2018.
The NPDA’s online data capture system allows you to submit data by directly uploading your
file to the system. To ensure that this uploads correctly please check that:
Your file is using the correct template. The headings of each column need to be in the correct order and should have the same name. You can compare this against the latest version of the template here. (If you are a Twinkle or Diamond user, ensure that the correct ‘report type’ is selected when extracting the data.)
Your file is saved in the correct CSV format
CSV Submission Preparation In order to ensure that the data you enter provides an accurate report and to support us to
clean, analyse and report the data without avoidable delay, please note the following when
you are preparing your submission:
Name your csv file starting with your PZ code i.e. ‘PZ100 NPDA data 1718.csv’. The following are required for all rows of data include the following and these are
consistent for each patient: NHS number Date of birth Date of diagnosis Visit date – This optimises our ability to organise, clean and analyse the data to
provide you with an accurate report. All data entered are in the formats specified in the Dataset Guide, for example: Dates: dd/mm/yyyy

service?
If a patient has had a visit during the audit year and then either transitioned or left your service:
Please record their date of transition/leaving the service with their last entry.
If a patient has not visited your clinic during the audit year and has either transitioned or left your service, but your clinic has received their results within the audit year:
o Please record their results and enter the ‘Observation Date’ of that particular result as the ‘Visit Date’.
o Please record their date of transition/leaving the service with their last entry.
If a patient has not visited your clinic during the audit year, has no results within the audit year, and has either transitioned or left your service:
