6 CPD Hours

This seminar is for Podiatrists in NHS and private practice

Course Synopsis

This interactive study day, centred around real-world clinical cases, offers a unique opportunity for podiatrists and other healthcare professionals to sharpen their diagnostic acumen and therapeutic strategies for common and complex dermatological presentations in the lower limb. Through a series of engaging case discussions, attendees will gain practical, applicable knowledge to enhance patient outcomes and their own clinical confidence.

This seminar will provide the following benefits for clinicians, including:

1. Improved Diagnostic Accuracy: Develop a more nuanced understanding of the subtle and overlapping presentations of various foot and ankle dermatoses, leading to more precise and timely diagnoses.

2. Enhanced Patient Management: Gain evidence-based insights into the latest treatment modalities and management plans for a range of conditions, from inflammatory dermatoses to infections and neoplastic lesions.

3. Increased Clinical Confidence: Bolster your confidence in managing complex cases and recognising when onward referral to specialist services is appropriate.

4. Collaborative Learning Environment: Engage in peer-to-peer learning and discussion, sharing experiences and best practices in a supportive and interactive setting.

5. Direct Application to Practice: The case-based format ensures that the knowledge and skills acquired are directly translatable to the clinical setting, improving the quality of patient care provided.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion participants will be able to:

1. Identify and differentiate between a wide range of inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic skin conditions of the foot and ankle, including but not limited to:

Psoriasis (Plaque and Pustular)

Plantar Warts (Verrucae)

2. Develop systematic approaches to the clinical assessment and investigation of dermatological presentations of the foot and ankle.

3. Formulate appropriate and evidence-based management plans for the discussed conditions, including topical and systemic therapies.

4. Recognise "red flag" symptoms that necessitate urgent referral to a dermatologist or other specialist.

5. Apply the principles of patient education and self-management for chronic dermatological conditions of the lower limb.
