Abstrakt: The increase in population numbers and prevalence of diabetes is creating a burden on the Foot Protection Service (FPS) that cannot be sustained with its current operating methods. The emerging strategy in Wales, as part of its delivery plan for people with diabetes, is to provide information and support for patients to become active and engaged in their own foot health outcomes. Cardiff and Vale University Health Board Podiatry department has developed a novel patient education programme to deliver foot health information to patients with diabetes referred to the FPS from Primary Care. STANCE: Diabetes Foot Health Engagement and Empowerment to Self-Care is a multifaceted approach to providing information and support to patients to assist them in reducing the risk of diabetic foot disease.
