Details
The Diabetes Foot Care Profiles presents Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP) level information on diabetic lower-limb amputations and hospital admissions for diabetes-related foot disease. The data are intended to help guide equitable national, regional and local commissioning of diabetic foot care services and other preventative interventions.
The information is compiled from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) and this latest update focuses on spells of inpatient care between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2020.
Correction: An error in counting the number of amputation procedures was identified in the December 2021 update of the Diabetes Foot Care Profiles. This led to an undercount of both major and minor amputations procedures across all geographies. The impact was most notable for counts of minor amputation. The data has now been corrected and replaced on Fingertips.
The Diabetes Foot Care Profiles is produced by the National Cardiovascular Intelligence Network (NCVIN).
