What's covered on the day?
Diabetes mellitus is taking on pandemic proportions. Worldwide over 250 million people suffer from the disease and estimates for 2025 are predicted to be a total of 380 million people with diabetes. As a consequence, the impact of diabetic foot disease is also on the rise. Delegates attending this course will achieve a better awareness of the causes of diabetic foot problems and the measures that can be taken to reduce the risk of developing diabetic foot ulceration. They will revisit relevant anatomy and physiology and will examine the chronic condition of diabetes in order to appreciate the impact the disease can have on foot health. Delegates will look at a number of real-life case scenarios and will better understand the principles of management of the patient with the diabetic foot.
