Dorset County Hospital has pledged to improve its services for people who have problems with their feet due to diabetes.
The pledge comes as Diabetes UK voiced concerns about the rising number of amputations among patients with diabetes.
Service improvements at Dorset County Hospital, which include the appointment of a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) of professionals dedicated to foot care, aim to reduce the number of amputations.
Diabetes Consultant, Dr Adeel Ghaffar, said: “We have two new vascular consultants and I joined the diabetes team this year. We are really starting to see the benefits of the changes we have made since the summer.
