Risk Stratification

You might spot something in your NHS App called segmentation. Don’t worry – it’s not a test result you need to act on!

Think of segmentation as us creating a simple “map” of our patients’ health and wellbeing needs. This helps us understand what matters most to you, so we can make your care more personal and timely.

✅ No action is needed from you – it just helps us help you.
