چکیده
Management of diabetic foot problems presents a series of complex challenges for patients and for health care professionals.

The guidelines have been developed using systematic reviews of the literature, and broad consultation of organisations representing the relevant health care professionals and patients. The development of the guidelines, the evidence considered and the recommendations developed will be reviewed.
