Case study: Influencing change ✒️
Improving Diabetic Foot Infection Outcomes
Diabetic Foot Infection Team, Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals
We are pleased to share an exemplar case study from the winner of the Influencing Change category of the Clinical Audit Heroes Awards (part of Clinical Audit Awareness Week 2024).
The team was recognised for their project which aims to improve outcomes for diabetic foot infection patients treated with outpatient parenteral antibiotics. The judges found that it was well structured, with multiple data measures, and improvement clearly demonstrated. Of particular note, were the interventions that had quality improvement ‘built-into’ them, as well as the extensive background research undertaken to identify best-practice.
The case study from the Diabetic Foot Infection Team can be viewed here.

New resource published 📝
📢 We are pleased to announce that the following new resource has been published:
This report shows that the waiting time, from the point of referral to appointment, and then to diagnosis, has increased significantly. However, NHS Digital figures show that, at the same time, the rate at which people are being diagnosed has increased. Other findings include differences in the experience of people using the services, depending on their locality.
📊 This report is available to view and download, along with all other reports, on our dedicated reports webpage.
