Presentation Abstract
Foot care for people with diabetes in the NHS in England: The economic case for change
Around 6,000 people with diabetes have leg, foot or toe amputations each year in England. Many of these are avoidable. The cost to the NHS of foot ulcers and amputations is estimated at around £650 million each year. Our health economics paper shows that many of these amputations, and their associated costs could be avoided through establishing specialist foot care multi disciplinary teams. The summary factsheet and full paper below set out the case for change in more detail.
