Join us in Glasgow or online while we will delve into the practical applications of realistic medicine by addressing community challenges and advancements in wound care on a global scale.
Our thought-provoking series of sessions will explore the evolving landscape of podiatric and orthotic care. We’ll begin with the integration of AI and digital technologies in podiatry, highlighting innovation and ethical considerations. Next, we’ll address key challenges in community podiatry, including prescribing, infection management, and pain treatment. A global look at wound care follows, offering insights into international practices and finally, we’ll tackle inequalities in healthcare, focusing on the impact of skin tone and social factors on patient outcomes.
