Make a deadly choice. Healthy feet – healthy you.

The Telehealth Foot Service is a culturally responsive high risk multi-disciplinary service. 

Our aim is to support patients, their family and carers, and community health providers living in regional, rural, remote and isolated locations, in the management of acute diabetes related foot complications in order to reduce lower limb amputations.

The Telehealth Foot Service specifically allows for:

  • timely assessment/triage of patients with current foot ulceration/problem
  • early access to specialist high risk foot services for health professionals and patients in regional, isolated, rural/remote areas
  • discharge planning/follow up care from acute hospitalisation
  • support for primary health clinicians managing foot complications.

The service aims to establish ongoing care with the local health care service, providing input when local services are not available or cannot be provided in a timely manner.

Due to the nature of foot disease, a healthcare professional will need to be present during the consult to assist with manual assessments, such as dressings and or wound treatment.
