About us
We are a National Association of Diabetes Centre (NADC) accredited High Risk Foot Service (HRFS). We provide a multidisciplinary clinic which includes podiatrists, pedorthist, diabetes nurse educator and endocrinologist, with access to vascular and orthopaedic surgeons, and infectious diseases specialists.
The aim of the HRFS is to provide the best care possible for patients with high-risk feet to reduce and prevent foot ulceration, infection, hospital admission and lower limb amputation.
