Foot examination, wound review, circulation and sensation considerations.
02
Diagnosis
A structured understanding of the clinical problem and priorities.
03

A pathway that may include wound care, offloading, procedures or referral coordination.
04
Prevention & follow-up
Practical guidance to support healing, mobility and future risk reduction.
Care that connects
Symptoms → assessment → treatment → follow-up.
The department connects assessment with the conditions, treatments and specialist profile that may help patients understand the next step.
