The High Risk Foot Service is a multi-disciplinary service that treats diabetes-related foot ulcerations, infections and acute Charcot Arthropathy.
Clients who are identified as being high risk will be given priority, with other referrals assessed by clinical need.
The general podiatrist works closely with the High Risk Foot Service to provide holistic and continuity of care. All initial appointments require a referral from another healthcare professional.
