Summary

The National Diabetes Foot Care Audit (NDFA) is a continuous audit of diabetic foot disease in England and Wales. The audit enables all diabetes foot care services to measure their performance against NICE clinical guidelines and peer units, and to monitor adverse outcomes for people with diabetes who develop diabetic foot disease.

Making clinical audit data transparent

In his transparency and open data letter to Cabinet Ministers on 7 July 2011, the Prime Minister made a commitment to make clinical audit data available from the national audits within the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme.

What information is being made available?

Aggregated National Diabetes Foot Care Audit (NDFA) data for 2015-18 at NHS trust, specialist foot care service, sustainability and transformation partnership (STP), and clinical commissioning group (CCG) level.
