Seeking consumer input for the National Clinical Guidelines project

Did you also know that diabetes-related foot ulcers are reported as the leading cause of amputation in Australia? But did you also know that 80% of diabetes-related amputations could be prevented by following best evidence-based treatments.

Here at DFA, one of the ways we’re tackling that statistic is by developing new national diabetes-related foot disease guidelines that reflect the most up-to-date evidence to guide standards of health care provision in Australia. We’re also developing a clinical toolkit with diabetes-related foot recommendation fact sheets and easy-to-use clinical pathways. But to help us achieve this, we need your valuable thoughts and experience.

INTERESTED IN JOINING THE TEAM? 

We are looking for a passionate consumer representative, who wants to help make a difference by sharing their personal experience and expertise with diabetes-related foot disease and foot health. For this voluntary position, we’d ideally like a representative who:

• is based in Australia
• lives with diabetes and has a history of having lived with a diabetes-related foot ulcer
• has had previous experience/involvement as a consumer representative or a keen interest in this area
