This pathway guidance has been developed by a collaborative group of expert clinicians in FDUK, to support all lower-limb clinicians during the COVID-19 situation in line with current best practice. The guidance is to assist the identification and management of people with critical/limb-threatening ischaemia or infection. The aim is to focus clinical assessment and decisions on urgent triage, referrals & access to High Risk Foot Podiatry, Hospital Vascular, Diabetes Foot, Infectious Diseases or Orthopaedic/ Podiatric Surgeon Teams, for potential life and limb-saving treatments
