Risk stratification

The process of foot screening must lead to the patient being assigned a risk category, and informed of that risk category, with the introduction of a treatment/management plan according to that risk level formulated in consultation with the patient, tailored to suit the patient’s needs (Assessing the risk of developing a diabetic foot problem; NICE: guideline [NG19]: page 15: section 1.3.6).
