In addition NICE recommends that all people with diabetes have their foot risk assessed on admission to hospital for any reason; and any person with diabetes who has newly occurring foot disease be referred for urgent assessment by a member of a specialist multidisciplinary team.</p><p> </p><p><em> </em></p><p> </p><p>The National Audit Office report<em> The management of adult diabetes services in the NHS</em> published in May 2012, confirms that foot care examination is one of the basic care processes for people with diabetes, to be delivered annually to provide early recognition and management of risk factors that can prevent or delay the development of ulcers which can lead to amputations.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 26/11/2014 13:03:37 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
