Featuring international experts Dr Andrew Hill and Dr Venu Bhamidipaty with Prof Rob Fitridge and Dr Samantha Iannella, this workshop includes a clinical presentation of the Diabetic Foot: Vascular and WIfI Assessment and vascular imaging and intervention of diabetic foot disease.
Biomechanics: Measuring offloading to improve prescribed offloading devices
Featuring international expert Dr Jaap van Netten (NL) and Prof Bijan Najafi (USA), this workshop provides the scientific background behind the technologies to measure biomechanics and offloading of diabetic foot wounds. The goal is to give participants hands-on experience with some of the most important technologies and direct access to expertise from around the world.
Wound Infections: From bench to bedside
Featuring international expert Dr Randall Wolcott and Matt Malone, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn all about Wound Infections from bench to bedside. This interactive workshop will explain next generation DNA sequencing technology, strengths and weakness and why conventional culture is limited. We will use a case study to identify how DNA sequencing maybe used and show how things may look in the future.
Charcot’s: Diagnosis to Treatment
Featuring international expert Professor Nicolaas Schaper and Associate Professor Paul Wraight, this workshop features investigations to help differentiate Charcot’s Neuroarthropathy from other destructive foot complications, such as osteomyelitis. With a focus on Case Studies to guide health professionals through the latest investigation & management pathways.
