Changes to NDA Reporting
NHS England are currently reviewing the routine production of NDA State of the Nation reports. Please note that data will still be released via dashboards and standalone data files whilst this review is being conducted.
To help inform this review we would be grateful if users can provide feedback on their use of the State of the Nation reports using the feedback survey available in the ‘Related links' section of this page.

Summary
The National Diabetes Foot Care Audit (NDFA) enables all services in England and Wales that treat people with diabetes related foot disease to measure their performance against National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance, to monitor patient outcomes and to benchmark against peer units. All organisations which provide a service for diabetes related foot ulcer treatment are eligible for inclusion in the NDFA.
This State of the Nation report is the 7th report on diabetes related foot disease in England and Wales. It details the findings and recommendations relating to the assessment, outcomes and participation in the NDFA for the period 01 April 2018 to 31 March 2023. In addition to this HTML report, a detailed analysis file and interactive dashboard (link below) are available. The detailed analysis file includes contextual analysis as well as the results of the National Diabetes Audit (NDA) Integrated Specialist Services (ISS) survey related to NDFA services. Both the Excel file and a link to further information about the ISS survey are provided in the resources section of this page.
Highlights
The NDFA is part of the NDA portfolio within the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP), commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP).
The audit looks at 3 key areas:
- Structures: are the nationally recommended care structures in place for the management of diabetes related foot disease?
- Processes: does the treatment of active diabetes related foot disease comply with nationally recommended guidance?
- Outcomes: are the outcomes of diabetes related foot disease optimised?
Quality Improvement Collaboratives
Data are available for all sub-audits across the National Diabetes Audit Programme. Improvement methodologies have been advocated since 2016-17. Presently the NDA is supporting application of these principles via Quality Improvement Collaboratives. We recommend that integrated care boards (ICBs) and Welsh local health boards (LHBs) advocate and support use of these approaches to improve overall achievements and reduce variation.
