Screening The purpose of screening is to award the

patient with a foot risk category.

Low risk 1:500 ulcer riskAt risk 1:20 ulcer riskHigh risk 1:2 ulcer risk

Risk categoriesActive ulceration High risk – previous ulcer/amputation

At risk - neuropathy and or vascular impairment with foot deformity

Low risk – no neuropathy, no vascular problems or foot deformities

What do I do with this information?Note the risk factor in patients notes, with

date & reasonInform the patientInform GPScreen again in 12 -15 months – low riskScreen again in 3-6 months – at riskScreen again in 1-3 months –high risk (MDT)

CalderdaleIn Calderdale there were 13, 229 diabetics

diagnosed in 2013By 2030 there is predicted 19, 289 diagnosedThis is an increase from 8.0% of population to

9.8%(YHPHO, 2013)

HuddersfieldIn Huddersfield there were 27, 260 diabetics

diagnosed in 2013.By 2030 there is predicted 38, 262

diagnosed.This is an increase from 8.5% of population to

10.4%.(YHPHO, 2013)

There are two local diabetic foot screening tools within

Calderdale and Huddersfield.

Page 17: Gill Sykes & Gareth Hicks. What does the ‘future’ hold? Insulin pumps BGL monitoring without taking blood A diabetes vaccine Artificial pancreas Very

Screening ToolsCalderdale utilise Podiatry Assistants with

competency based training by podiatrists

Huddersfield utilise Practice Nursing with competency based training by podiatrists

Benefits of podiatry assistants

Competency basedPro -podiatryMore thorough assessment i.e. more

knowledge of foot pathologiesQuicker referral to podiatryInspection/ adviceIn Calderdale 2013, 89% of all diabetics in

Calderdale were screened (not including DNA’s)

NICE guidelines on foot risk The prevention and management of foot

problems advises that foot risk should be classified as:

at low current risk: normal sensation, palpable pulses

at increased risk: neuropathy or absent pulses

at high risk: neuropathy or absent pulses plus deformity or skin changes or previous ulcerated foot

SO…………..‘The postcode lottery of diabetes- related

amputations in England is getting worse, according to figures from Diabetes UK’ (Podiatry Now, 2014)

‘Too many people with diabetes not getting a good quality annual foot check or not being informed about their risk status at the end of their check’ (Podiatry Now, 2014)

Page 22: Gill Sykes & Gareth Hicks. What does the ‘future’ hold? Insulin pumps BGL monitoring without taking blood A diabetes vaccine Artificial pancreas Very

The figures, based on NHS data, show that overall diabetes-related amputation rate has not improved, with 2.6 thousand lower limb amputations per year with diabetes. The gap between the worst and best performing areas has also got bigger’ (Podiatry Now, 2014).

If in doubt, DO REFER

To pose some questions…..?What will happen to all the low/ medium risk

diabetics in the NHS?And staff shortages?And an increase in diabetics?And a growing elderly population?

WHAT NOW?

Page 31: Gill Sykes & Gareth Hicks. What does the ‘future’ hold? Insulin pumps BGL monitoring without taking blood A diabetes vaccine Artificial pancreas Very

Food for thought..Some NHS Trusts already have done some of

the below….Discharge low/ medium risk to self

management.Training/ competencies for assistant

practitionersInvolvement of private clinicians, ?

partnership workingVoluntary sector
