There is increasing evidence that alongside traditional risk factors, such as ischaemia, neuropathy and structural anomalies, social deprivation plays a significant role in the development of diabetic foot ulceration. This paper examines social deprivation in the Scottish context and evaluates how social determinants of health can impact people with diabetic foot ulcers in Scotland; assess the suitability of the 'House of Care' model and consider how community development can be used to improve outcomes.
