Ready to Step Into the World of Foot Care?
Hello to all the incredible nurses gearing up for the South Island Nursing Foot Care Workshop on November 17th, 2024! We’re thrilled to be meeting with passionate foot care nurses on Vancouver Island—where we’ll be diving deep into skills, techniques, and tools that will enhance your practice and confidence in foot care. Let’s “get in the foot of it,” and have some hands-on fun!
In preparation, we’ve put together some useful resources to get you started on your journey. Take a look at these helpful links below, which cover everything from protective sensation testing to neuropathy screening. These will give you a head start and make our time together even more valuable!
Resources for Your Foot Care Arsenal:
- Protective Sensation Testing
- Monofilament Testing for Loss of Sensation
- Diabetes Atlas – 9th Edition
- Diabetes Atlas – 10th Edition
- Ipswich Touch Test
- Touch the Toes Test
- Neuropad Screening Instructions
Get ready to roll up your sleeves, bring those rough heels and thick nails (we won’t judge!), and dive into a full day of learning and laughter. The PEDEd team and our sponsor, PEDICARE, can’t wait to see you there!
Let’s make this workshop one to remember! Be sure to check out the resources, get comfy with your N95 mask and goggles, and prepare for a day packed with new insights and hands-on practice. See you soon.
Big thank you to SINFA for setting up this workshop!
