[QUOTE="Robinredbreast, post: 305626, member: 44643"] This is my local hospital and on the front cover of a local newspaper. CLAIMS THAT PEOPLE WITH DIABETES MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK OF FOOT AMPUTATION IS DENIED. Allegations that people with diabetes may be at an increased risk of foot amputations because ******* hospital does not have a specialist diabetes footcare team have been refuted by the hospital. The no-nonsense claim is made by campaigners Diabetes UK who describe the situation as' appalling' insisting the hospital has not implmented special prodecures that could potentially prevent such incidents. But the hospital strenuously denies this is the case. Jill Steaton, south east manager for Diabetes UK, says. Everyone agrees specialist footcare teams are important for preventing amputations and can save the NHS money. This is quite a long article and I have just put some of the main points on here. This is a quote from the hospital. However, D G, chief nurse and deputy cheif executive, said " We do in fact have a multi-disciplinary team who work closely together to mamge patients with diabetic disease. The team review patients with complex foot problems on an outpatient basis. Where patients are identified as needing the expertise of the team, these reviews take place within 48 hrs" Thankfully, I do not have any diabetic related foot problems, no cuts, sores or ulcers. But what if I did have, seeing that on the front page does not fill me with hope :( Do you know if your hospital has these specialist teams and was the care good and efficent, if you had any treatment. It is a worry, isn't it? Is it the same for other hospitals I wonder? Best wishes RRB [/QUOTE]
