-----------------------------------------
Please note the number of
participants per session is limited.
|
Many community health
centres, podiatry clinics, hospitals, wound clinics and physicians
provide specialized wound care and treatment. The techniques included in
this course are successfully practised in several areas of the USA.
Their effectiveness is well documented with extensive clinical evidence.
The approach is one of active patient participation that is empowering
to the patient and highly cost-effective for the health care system.
Diabetes clinics are a steady source of referrals.
There is an urgent need
for more effective wound treatment. Each amputation is a personal and
financial disaster for the patient and produces a huge continuing
liability for the health care system.
