Diabetes prevalence is increasing; the technologies and medicines used to manage diabetes have become more complex, and the specialist health workforce with qualifications in diabetes is insufficient. Generalist health professionals have limited diabetes knowledge, despite engaging with people with diabetes in healthcare daily. An innovative framework is needed to align with the Australian National Diabetes Strategy to build a competent, flexible and adaptive workforce to promote excellence in diabetes care. A three-staged modified Delphi technique was used to identify a consensus Capability Framework for Diabetes Care (the ‘Framework’). An implementation phase followed, involving representation from people with diabetes and key health professional organisations to co-design and implement the ‘Framework’. The ‘Framework’ can guide curricula at universities and TAFE institutes, and the professional development and practice of Australian nurses, allied health professionals, First Nations Australians health workers and practitioners, pharmacists, midwives and health assistants when delivering care to people living with diabetes. The ‘Framework’ defines nine core capabilities that healthcare providers require to deliver diabetes care effectively, underpinned by three sets of attributes for seven practice levels to enable the workforce. Information within the practice levels provides a nationally consistent approach to learning and training different healthcare providers in the essential elements of diabetes care. A ‘living’ evidence-based national ‘Framework’ for the whole health workforce and associated online resources will help promote a more responsive health workforce delivering better and more equitable diabetes care.

Policymakers, researchers, and public health practitioners have long sought not only to improve overall population health but also to reduce or eliminate differences in health based on geography, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other social factors. Italian healthcare authorities and health policy makers are called to help to both solve existing inequities in accessing healthcare and remove barriers to healthcare. In this context, COVID-19 has highlighted the aspect of inequalities. Our paper proposes an overview of different methods of measuring health inequalities and their applications, both in regional and national contexts, in absolute and relative scales. The first involves an application on accessibility to an obstetrics clinic in a district of Marche region, connected to the educational level of the female population. The second, calculates the indices on inequalities in the infant mortality rate in the Italian regions in relation to income. Finally, the three indices are calculated considering the rate of self-perceived health in relation with the GDP per capita. To achieve this goal, we use the Kuznets index, the slope index of inequality and the concentration index as measures of social inequalities. The measurement of health inequities is an excitingly multidisciplinary endeavor. Its development requires interdisciplinary integration of advances from relevant disciplines. The proposed approach is one such effort and stimulates cross-disciplinary dialogues, specifically, about conceptual and empirical significance of definitions of health inequities.
