Presentation at the BAPO Conference in Telford 2013. Starts by describing the screening and assessment process for the diabetic foot and the important differences between them. It describes the importance of risk stratification of the individual as this will determine the essential characteristics of the protective footwear for the individual. The key to effective management is to make sure that individuals are treated according to their risk of ulceration. Keeping those at the lowest risk from progressing is vital for cost efffective management. The presentation also describes the nature of the orthotic prescription and how this should relate to the patients risk level.
