The Whipps Cross Diabetic foot service has been shortlisted for the HSJ Patient Safety Awards in the ‘Virtual or remote care initiative of the year’ category.

The service, which is provided in partnership with Barts Health, spans across community and secondary care and is led by Consultant diabetologist Dr Kalpita Majumdar, and comprises of a Senior podiatrist from NELFT, Nadine Price, and Microbiologists Dr Mark Melzer and Dr M Cabeza.

With the introduction of electronic patient records, including access to electronic prescriptions, review of radiology investigations and community services reviews (GPs, podiatry, and district nurses), there was an opportunity to integrate patient care in the community with our hospital diabetic foot MDT. This allowed the team to significantly increase the number of patients being reviewed virtually, as well as increasing both the visibility and availability of the diabetic foot MDT to the diabetes population of Waltham Forest and to the healthcare professionals looking after them.

Nadine Price, Senior podiatrist, said: 

"The team are very excited to have been shortlisted for this prestigious award and look forward to the ceremony in Manchester in September! I am very proud of the team for getting this far, fingers crossed for the win!"
