GIRFT Diabetes Footcare Vascular Services Survey

The aim of centralisation of vascular services is to reduce the morbidity and mortality of patients with aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease and peripheral arterial disease.                                                    

This survey of lead clinicians in diabetic foot disease (representing vascular surgery, diabetes, orthopaedic surgery and podiatrists) seeks to obtain feedback of their experience since centralisation and its impact upon the management of diabetes foot disease. 

The intention is to learn from clinicians' experiences and to identify areas for improvement. We will aim to link non-arterial centres (“spokes”) with their arterial centres (“hubs”) responses for our analysis. 

Outputs from this survey will not identify individual responses or individual sites/trusts. 

If you work across a trust’s sites, please submit a separate response for each site in your trust.
