AMSANT and APodA invite you to join them in this advocacy and networking event.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is for health professionals who would like to hear from experts in the area of high risk foot, wound care and healing within a culturally responsive framework.

Overview

This is a unique opportunity to bring the Northern Territory Podiatry community together and discuss key issues affecting Podiatry in the Northern Territory today. You’ll hear from key experts in each field presenting the issues and key points on their specialist topic. The topics covered will include best practice around vascular care, wounds care and healing, developing a culturally responsive framework for services, and discussing the workforce and models of care e.g. Telehealth.

The presenters will convene for a panel as they present summaries on their topic, with opportunities to ask questions and have your say.

From this session, APodA will develop a plan for future advocacy and education activities, with the view to present it as an options paper to the APodA Board for consideration.

The session will conclude with an hour of informal networking where you’ll enjoy the finest finger food and beverages, while catching up with presenters and fellow health professionals and podiatrists.
