Abstract

The authors aimed to elicit podiatrists’ perceptions of NHS diabetic foot care services and to identify any perceived barriers to delivery of optimal care. A mixed-methods approach was adopted. A survey and focus groups were undertaken with podiatrists employed by NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde. The majority of participants did not perceive that national care guidelines, screening targets and national diabetic foot care standards were being met.
