The High Risk Foot
COURSE
Course description
In British Columbia, there are approximately 50,000 people diagnosed and treated with diabetes and an additional 700,000 diagnosed as pre-diabetics. Foot ulcers affect nearly 8,500 diabetics each year making it the third leading cause of hospitalization, and 20 percent of these cases result in amputation. Early recognition of a high risk foot in high risk patient populations is vital to optimize preventative care including proper assessment, education and foot care. In this session, you will learn the anatomy of the foot, recognize common presentations that may increase risk, identify the patient with a high risk foot, and acquire knowledge and skills to respond effectively.
