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 to aid referral making when considering community versus outpatient MDT care.
