Treatment overview
Care is shaped around the person, the diagnosis and the goal.
A clinician-led consultation to discuss whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has an evidence-supported role for a specific confirmed diagnosis or tissue concern. A PRP discussion begins with assessment of the confirmed diagnosis, wound status where relevant, medications, infection risk, circulation and treatment goals. The clinician will explain the evidence, possible benefits, limitations, alternatives and costs before any treatment is considered.

How the pathway works
Understand the care before it begins.

What to expect
Treatment is reviewed as needs change.
Assess
Treatment recommendations should be individualised and evidence-informed. PRP does not replace debridement, infection control, pressure reduction, vascular care or other standard care when those are needed, and it is not routine treatment for diabetic-foot ulcers.
Plan

Safety and evidence: Treatment recommendations should be individualised and evidence-informed. PRP does not replace debridement, infection control, pressure reduction, vascular care or other standard care when those are needed, and it is not routine treatment for diabetic-foot ulcers.
Protect your feet between reviews.
Keep changes protected, avoid unadvised self-treatment and seek advice if symptoms worsen or do not improve.
The next step should be clear.
A timely assessment helps match care to the diagnosis, risk and practical needs of the person.
Common questions
When should I seek medical advice?+
A new wound, spreading redness, swelling, discharge, odour, colour change, or a hot, cold or painful foot should be assessed promptly. If you feel very unwell, seek urgent or emergency care.
How is the right pathway chosen?+
A clinician considers the diagnosis, symptoms, skin or wound, sensation, circulation, pressure, footwear, medical history and your goals before recommending next steps.
What should I bring to an appointment?+
Bring recent reports, a medication list, details or photographs of changes over time and your usual footwear when relevant.
