The “Australian diabetes-related foot disease strategy 2018-2022” is the first step towards ending avoidable generations within a generation. This strategy was written by Diabetes Feet Australia with input from various national and state peak bodies, interdisciplinary foot disease services and individual experts from the Australian diabetes-related foot disease community.
It identifies nine key goals and related areas for action and measures of progress that, if implemented, should put Australia firmly on a pathway towards ending avoidable amputations within a generation. Enacting this strategy aims to ensure that all people with diabetes-related foot disease have access to and receive safe quality evidence-based care when and where they need it, and that they can be assured that future investments in research and development will continue to strive to improve their care delivery and health outcomes over time.
