Comment from two sites: Only specific Podiatrists have access to these results
In Summary • 16 Hospitals have contributed to ‘the map’. • There are 42 podiatry chairs in acute settings but 1/3 of the time they are not used. • The majority of hospital podiatry is provided by the community service. • Nearly 1/3 of hospitals have no foot MDT. • The make up of MDT is various, but many hospitals have the right mix of HCPs but not necessarily in the same place at the same time. • Only 2 hospitals have a radiology MDT. • 2/3 hospitals have urgent access for GP patients. • The majority of hospital podiatrists have access to tests/results. • Casting is available in the majority of hospitals. • Less than 1/2 hospitals have an orthotist available in clinic. • Nearly all hospital podiatrists have access to offloading devices. • Only 1/2 hospitals have an inpatient MDT which are limited in number of sessions. • Topical negative pressure is available across most hospitals and community services. • The 16 hospitals could only identify 10 CCGs with Foot Protection Teams. • IT systems link 1/3 hospital to community services.
