Who do I refer to the Intermediatary Care Team?
A8) Currently there are two clinical podiatry sites – Wembley and Willesden that are part of the Diabetes Intermediatary Care Pathway. Both these sites are run by the Senior Community Diabetes Specialist Podiatrist Rakhee Shah. Specialist facilities as well as medical staff exist to deal with: a. Most minor wounds. A referral should be made on the normal podiatry referral form. Please mark these for the urgent attention of Rakhee Shah, stating clearly the details of the wound and diabetes status. These can be posted or preferably faxed to: Willesden Podiatry: 0208 438 7101 Wembley Podiatry: 0208 795 6018 b. High risk patients that have previously had ulcerations, amputations, managed Charcot’s arthropathy, foot deformity and neuroischaemic changes.
