A focus could be ensuring your patients/clients are aware of their wound management plan and how to maximise wound healing through compliance, diet and mobility. ...

16.01.2022 Foot disease affects nearly 6% of people with diabetes and includes infection, ulceration, or destruction of tissues of the foot. Read the following article which provides an overview on the prevention and management of these foot wounds. https://www.bmj.com/content/359/bmj.j5064

16.01.2022 Interesting that the TIME WBP framework, although quite widely known in theory is quite often not consistently applied in practice. This article demonstrates the usefulness of the TIME Clinical Decision Support Tool by non-wound staff in effectively assessing and managing wounds.

12.01.2022 This years World Diabetes Day is all about the important role family plays in caring for those living with diabetes. Knowing and caring for your feet is an imp...ortant part of managing diabetes but can be easily overlooked until a foot ulcer presents. The good news is with annual foot assessments and some simple self-care many people with diabetes will never get foot ulcers and their more serious complications, such as infections and amputations. And in even better news, your family can also play a role in helping take care of your feet.

07.01.2022 How long does it take to complete the Wound Management Resource Program....and when can I start? We often get asked this question so let's give you the answers: Our Wound Management Resource Program is a 120 hour program accredited by Wounds Australia and the Australian Primary Healthcare Nurses Association. Our students have taken as little as 3 months to complete the course (that's a cracking pace) but most of our students prefer to dabble in the online course over 12 month...s. It is self-paced and designed to fit in around your existing commitments. When can you start? Once you enrol, you can begin straight away. We have no set or finish times for the program. If you have any further questions, send us an email via [email protected] :)

02.01.2022 Every four years, the IWGDF publish the international guidelines outlining the most up-to-date global recommendations and future priorities and they are recogni...sed as the gold standard guidelines. They are collectively written by 49 global diabetic foot experts and reviewed by another 50 global diabetic foot experts to make sure. And thats just the start. They are based on 10 extensive systematic reviews, formulated by six expert working groups, all overseen by one expert editorial board, and all adhering to the gold standard GRADE methodology for guideline development. And studies have objectively shown they are the best diabetic foot guidelines. At least a third of all recommendations - approximately 28 recommendations (from 87 evidence-based practice recommendations and 44 future research priorities across 8 chapters and 194 pages) are completely new compared to the last 2015 IWGDF guidelines. Simply, no other diabetic foot guideline on the planet comes close to the quality and breadth of the IWGDF guidelines. So, they should be very important to any Australian clinicians or researchers who are even remotely interested in the diabetic foot. Which is why we're bringing four of the international experts responsible for writing the guidelines to Brisbane in just over 3 weeks. Where they are not only updating on what current and what's coming, but also running our practical workshop sessions. So our question to you is...are you across the guidelines? Because if you're not - we have got you covered in two days at the best venue to open in Brisbane in the last decade. We are close to our maximum capacity and registrations close for good in 7 days. So get your skates (or approved footwear on) and join us for a fantastic two days focused on the diabetic foot! https://www.diabeticfootaustralia.org/conference-2019/ #letspreventamputations #dfaguidesyouthrough #endingavoidableamputations #DFA2019 Australian Podiatry Association Wounds Australia Advanced Practicing Podiatrists - High Risk Foot Group Podiatry Western Australia Pedorthic Association of Australia RACGP
