A 'Speed-Dating' Model of Wound Care? Rapid, High-Volume Assessment of Patients With Diabetes in a Multidisciplinary Foot Wound Clinic.

Background: Diabetes is a major risk factor for foot ulceration and leg amputation, but the effect of intensive glycaemic control on wound healing is unknown. While an interdisciplinary approach has been shown to be important in the management of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), there is no standardised definition of such an interdisciplinary team.

Objective: To investigate the role of an opportunistic, rapid-access, inter-disciplinary model of diabetes care at a foot wound clinic.
