| Abstrakt: | Introduction: Diabetes foot disease demands a multidisciplinary approach. Undergraduate podiatry students, therefore, must appreciate the contribution of a range of healthcare professionals to the management of diabetes foot disease. Methods: Final-year podiatry undergraduates were asked to rationalise their multidisciplinary diabetes foot 'Dream Team,' including the professional groups involved. Responses were categorised into professional groups and frequencies of responses calculated. Results: All students included a podiatrist and a medical practitioner within their 'Dream Team.' Nursing and surgical practitioners were included by 18 of 20 (90%) and 16 of 20 (80%) participants, respectively. The allied health professions were relatively underrepresented, with the following proportions: dietitians (60%), orthotists (45%), occupational therapists (30%), physiotherapists (25%), radiographers (15%) and prosthetists (5%). Conclusion: Future educational efforts should focus on the contributions of the allied health professions to multidisciplinary diabetes foot management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
