title: Special foot clinics for patients with diabetes: Critique II.
abstract: This paper reports the experiences and benefits of a specialist diabetic foot clinic established in the 1980s with a grant from the British Diabetic Association. A three-year prospective study was undertaken of 239 patients attending the clinic with foot ulcers. The introduction of the clinic resulted in a high rate of ulcer healing and a reduced number of major amputations.
