National Diabetes Foot Care Audit 2014-2018. 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.

__Measures about the process of care given to patients__

Information about care outcomes and treatment.

These data do not list individual patient information nor do they contain any patient identifiable data.

__Using and interpreting the data__

Data from the National Diabetes Foot Care Audit should not be looked at in isolation when assessing standards of care.

__Accessing the data__

The data are being made available on the data.gov website. Each year a data file from the National Diabetes Foot Care Audit will be made available in CSV format. Trusts and CCGs are identified by name and national code. Foot care services and STPs are identified by name and locally derived code.

__What does the data cover?__

The audit looks at the following areas:

* Structures: are the nationally recommended care structures in place for the management of diabetic foot disease?

* Processes: does the treatment of active diabetic foot disease comply with nationally recommended guidance?

* Outcomes: are the outcomes of diabetic foot disease optimised?

__What period does the data cover?__

This data covers patients first seen with a diabetic foot ulcer by a specialist foot service between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2018. This National Report was published on 9 May 2019.
