Upcoming Review — this page is due to be reviewed by Wednesday, 18 December 2024. The information shown here may be outdated.

The Whittington Health (WH) acute podiatry service provides wound care for patients with foot ulcerations that require MDT input. Care is provided within a multi-disciplinary outpatient clinic based at Whittington Hospital.

Patients who do not require multi-disciplinary care for podiatry wounds should be referred via the Podiatry Community Service: WH.

Refer to the Diabetic Foot Assessment and Referral Pathway (see Pathways) to aid referral making when considering community versus outpatient MDT care.
