    (The program will be published shortly)

    • Insights into chronic venous disease, assessment techniques, and management options (to confirm).
    • Bridging Practice and Hospital Care – Learn how to identify high-risk foot cases and navigate clear referral pathwaysto hospital multidisciplinary teams, with practical tools for effective communication, triage, and patient care coordination.
    • Suspecting PAD or CLTI? Learn to assess patients in under 10 minutes using the 3Ps (Pulses, Phases, Pressures), WIFI classification, and practical tools like ABPI, ankle/toe pressures, and Doppler waveforms.

    • Wound Healing Starts with Vascular Clarity – Learn how to link vascular status to wound outcomes using the WiFi classification, and spot ischaemia as a key factor in delayed healing.

    • New This Year: Vascular Assessment Templates – Discover practical tools for documenting and interpreting vascular findings to support confident, evidence-based decisions in clinical practice.

    • Hands-On Doppler & Toe Pressure Training – Gain real-time experience with toe pressure measurement and Doppler waveform interpretation, supported by small-group practice and expert guidance.
