Ireland: Advancing Clinical Foot Care Fri 26th - Sat 27th Jun 09:30 - 16:30 Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley Fonthill Rd, Liffey Valley, Dublin, D22 X4W6 Members: £400, NON-Members: £450 About the Course We are delighted to announce that we are bringing our CPD courses for podiatrists, chiropodists and foot health practitioners to Ireland! Starting with this 2-day practical CPD conference: Advancing Clinical Foot Care Join us for an intensive 2-day hands-on CPD event designed for clinicians looking to elevate both their clinical decision-making and practical treatment skills. Course Schedule This immersive event will cover: Nail Pathologies Comprehensive assessment Conservative management options, including nail bracing Cosmetic reconstruction techniques with clinical integrity Musculoskeletal (MSK) Conditions Assessment and management of key MSK presentations Functional taping techniques Chairside orthotic modification Silicone putty devices for targeted patient support Therapeutic Modalities Clinical application of Ultrasound Therapy Red Light Therapy for pain management and tissue healing Expect a strong emphasis on practical application, real-world case discussion, and techniques you can implement immediately into your clinical practice. Course Sylabus Knowledge By the end of this 2-day practical CPD conference, delegates will have developed a comprehensive understanding of common and complex nail pathologies, including appropriate assessment methods and conservative management options such as nail bracing and cosmetic reconstruction. Delegates will understand the clinical reasoning required to differentiate between conditions suitable for conservative care, cosmetic intervention or onward referral. They will gain knowledge of musculoskeletal assessment principles relevant to lower limb presentations, including biomechanical contributors to dysfunction. Participants will also develop an understanding of chairside orthotic modification principles, the use of silicone putty devices for targeted support, and the physiological effects, clinical indications and contraindications of therapeutic ultrasound and red light therapy. Skills Delegates will be able to carry out structured nail and musculoskeletal assessments and apply their findings to practical treatment planning. They will develop hands-on skills in the application of nail bracing techniques and cosmetic nail reconstruction while maintaining patient safety and clinical integrity. Participants will be able to apply functional taping techniques to support, offload or influence movement patterns, modify chairside orthotic devices to meet individual biomechanical needs, and fabricate and apply silicone putty devices for pressure redistribution and targeted support. Delegates will also develop practical skills in the safe and effective application of ultrasound and red light therapy within their scope of practice. Competence On completion of the conference, delegates will be competent in integrating conservative nail management, musculoskeletal interventions, orthotic and silicone solutions, and therapeutic modalities into cohesive, patient-centred treatment plans. They will be able to justify their clinical decisions using evidence-based reasoning, monitor treatment outcomes, and adapt management plans as required. Delegates will demonstrate increased confidence in managing a range of nail and MSK conditions, communicating treatment options effectively to patients, and implementing practical techniques t Tutor Gaynor Wooldridge, is a consultant podiatrist working within a multidisciplinary clinic in Kent, UK.
