EWM Module 2: Diabetic Foot Management in Practice (2019/M2-2PTA)

Module 2 is a 2-day contact session focusing on the holistic management of the diabetic foot.  The course follows both national and international guidelines on the management of the diabetic foot.  Learners have the opportunity to meet members of the Multi-disciplinary team and discuss each team members role in the treatment of a patient with diabetes.  As an advanced course, learners are able to learn and hone new skills enabling them to perform a vascular and neuropathic evaluation.  Practical sessions include:

  • Vascular & Neurological Assessment
  • Foot & Skin Assessment
  • Callous debridement
  • Offloading & redistributing pressure

At the end of the module learners will be able to develop an individualized diabetic foot ulcer management plan that incorporates a holistic approach towards the patient’s overall wellbeing.  This module also allows the learner to engage with new and advanced technologies impacting healing in the diabetic foot.  Learners are required to do a 4-hour practical session as part of the module at an accredited Wound Care Centre.
