The episode provides a novel way to describe risk and steers professionals away from high, medium and low risk stratification. The listener will be introduced to:

  • Longitudinal Risk
  • Unaddressed Risk
  • Cross-sectional Risk

On the way to formulating an opinion of clear and imminent risk. This is a far more nuanced approach and a meaningful attempt at conducting a person centered risk assessment. 

The listener will also be presented with the evidence base which leaves very little doubt about the futility of risk categorisation.
