Risk Assessment in Severe ME

 

  

For people with severe or very severe ME, a medical risk assessment is essential before any interaction or care planning. Assessment itself carries a significant risk of harm, including prolonged deterioration, and must be carefully planned and adapted to the individual’s limitations and sensitivities. Interaction itself can cause deterioration and loss of capacity to engage. All decisions should be guided by a clear evaluation of risk versus benefit, with appropriate adjustments to minimise harm and ensure accurate, person-centred care.
