System-wide approach
• Integrate clinical pathways between community and into hospital (MDfTclinics)
• Incorporate and adhere to NICE NG19 guidance
• Clear admission pathway
• Define links between vascular hubs and spokes
• Regular clinical governance
• Participate in national audits, GRIFT
• Investigate complaints promptly, ensure duty of Candour
• Maintain good communication for complaints/queries.
Fig. 18.4 Reducing the risk of litigation: System-wide and individual level approaches. It is important to remember that these two aspects are inter-linked
Individual level responsibilities
• Work in teams
• Maintain CPD and training
• Ensure documentation is clear, accurate and legible
• Regular attendance at governance meetings
• Participate in audit and clinical reflection
• Ensure quality communication–with patient, carers and colleagues
• Engage with requests for response to complaints, legal team queries
• When things go wrong, do not judge
incident reviews, reection), quality audit (local audit cycles; contribute to the National Diabetes Foot Audit) and ensure safe pathways are designed between hubs and their connected spokes. Adherence to guidelines, such the NICE NG19 for dia­betic foot ulceration is very important and should be consistent between sites. At an individual level, it is important to ensure that every decision or plan is carefully explained to the patient and clearly documented at the time. Where a patient lacks capacity to make a decision about treatment, the requirements of the MCA 2005 must be followed, and if relevant, an application made to the Court of Protection. Doctors and health professionals should always consider the implications of devia­tions from accepted practices in light of the greater availability of practice guide­lines for court guidance. The documentation should include a clear documentation of the reason for such a deviation, and it should also be clearly explained to the patient. Clinicians-in-training should be aware that they are expected to seek advice and assistance in scenarios where they lack experience [20]. Every practitioner should also ensure they are fully complaint with their employers’ mandatory requirements, participate proactively within the appraisal and continuing education processes. It is important, both at a system and individual level, to maintain good

lines of communication with patients and their carers/families. When an adverse event occurs, ensure a duty of candour is performed, that apologies are offered, and that learnings from the investigation are relayed to the involved team and the patient and their carers/families in an emphatic, timely manner.
Every organisation, doctor and healthcare professional should be encouraged to familiarise with the role of NHS Resolution and engage with the ‘Getting It Right the First Time’ (GIRFT) initiative. The GIRFT programme was developed to improve the treatment and care of patients through a recurring in-depth review of services, benchmarking, and data-driven evidence presentations to support change within healthcare organisations. For diabetic foot disease, GIRFT triangulates around the specialties of vascular surgery, diabetes and orthopaedic surgery. In col­laboration with NHS Resolution, GIRFT has produced the Learning from Litigation Claims: best practice guide for clinicians and managers document [28] which should be essential reading for healthcare providers and professionals likewise. When things go wrong, it is important to recognise and acknowledge. Saying sorry to the patient and family as soon as possible in a sincere way, is the right approach and as per the Compensation Act 2006 does not itself amount to an admission of breach of duty or negligence [29]. Such an early intervention may, as part of a wider coordinated communication initiative allow the patient and/or family to understand what went wrong without resorting to complaining or taking legal action.
In summary, clinicians and service providers are likely to see an increase in litiga­tion related to diabetic foot care. The recent NHS resolution review has identied a number of themes which, individually or collectively, can increase the likelihood of sub-optimal outcomes and expose the system to litigation. When litigation occurs, it can be a long process with signicant personal stress to individual members involved. A system wide approach is necessary to improve the patient pathway when a DFU occurs, and it is essential that individuals are cared for within a MDFT environment. Furthermore, it is important that doctors and healthcare professionals, involved in managing diabetic foot disease, continue to demonstrate best practice behaviour, clear documentation, and reection, even within the constraints imposed on them.
Key Points
Litigation has signicantly increased and most commonly occur after major and minor amputation.
Common themes of litigation include lack of screening, delays/failure in diagno­sis and accessing specialist foot care services, failing to order appropriate investiga­tions and variable quality of the care.
When a patient lacks capacity to consent to treatment the Court of Protection should be involved early.
Most clinical negligence claims are resolved without formal court proceedings.
A successful negligence claim needs to prove a duty of care was owed to the claimant by the Trust or Practioner and that there was a breach of that duty of care which resulted in harm.
It is essential that a Healthcare Practioner are involved early with clinical negli­gence claims and the multidisciplinary teams discuss these cases to identify learning.
