Abstract

Diabetes is a growing problem and so are its complications with diabetic foot being one of the commonest known complications. Diabetic foot is often associated with amputation that increases the morbidity and mortality. Often, multidisciplinary management consisting of prevention, education, examination, treatment etc and multidisciplinary team approach can provide favorable outcomes. One of the members among this multidisciplinary team has been a pharmacist in few of the expert diabetic foot Centre’s around the world. It is observed that, though spoken of their role in clinical practice, either such roles are limited or undervalued. Further, there are sparse publications that provides a clear-cut role, training, responsibility, and their experience in a diabetic foot team. This article provides an essential insight on the journey of one of the first diabetic foot wound care Pharmacist from India.
