Developing diabetic foot resources: An educational resource for clinicians

Abstract

Education is a cornerstone of chronic disease management. Effective patient and family education supports prevention of diabetes-related foot complications. Clinicians responsible for developing educational tools must adhere to their local health region/authority (organization), provincial and territorial requirements. Development of these educational resources includes the patient and family as part of the development team. Performing a literature review, attending to cultural diversity, language, and formatting of materials, is part of the process.
