It is important that people with diabetes have access to a multidisciplinary team that includes podiatry services. The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)'s guidelines on the prevention and management of foot problems in people with diabetes advise that foot examinations should be carried out by trained personnel as part of the annual review process.
We continue to work with NHS Diabetes to support the national health service in the provision and delivery of diabetes services.
However, it is for local NHS organisations to commission a comprehensive service for people with diabetes that includes podiatry services.
