The Department

A specialised, coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to the care and management of high risk foot complications is widely acknowledged as best practice. The Podiatry Unit and Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes, together with Vascular Surgery are establishing the Alfred High Risk Foot Service to commence in August 2021.

This service aims to implement a coordinated, multidisciplinary care model for patients with predominantly diabetic foot complications, with a focus on preventing decline in vascular-compromised, high-risk diabetic patients. The service is considered best-practice and has been benchmarked against other health services. It will be provided via two streams: same-day admitted care, and multi-day inpatient care; resulting in more efficient and higher-quality care.

The High Risk Foot Service will be governed through the Alfred Specialty Medicine program with leadership from Departments of Endocrinology and Diabetes, Podiatry and Vascular Surgery.
