Waitemata DHB has implemented an integrated community podiatry service as an adjunct to the secondary MDT foot service for individuals with active foot complications. The initial implementation in Waitakere was associated with a marked decrease in amputations. This led to the implementation of the Save Our Soles community podiatry programme, which was district wide for all people that met the entry criteria domiciled in the WDHB catchment. Contact Waitemata DHB for more information.
