Methods On establishment, the overarching goal of the DFC was to provide the best evidence-based care possible to those at the highest risk of developing diabetes-related foot problems in the region. To achieve this, the DFC undertook a ten-year process of continual quality improvement activities that included a series of retrospective clinical audits. This paper describes the results of these audits.
