Podiatry Vascular Update Workshop

19 July 2025 -  From 12:30pm to 5:00pm

 UWA  Reid Library - Hemsley Room

This year’s Vascular Day offers both a refresher for past attendees and valuable new insights, practical strategies, and clinical tips for those joining us for the first time. With a focus on PAD, referral pathways, and hands-on vascular assessment, the course is designed to strengthen podiatrists' confidence in managing complex vascular presentations.

Speakers

Dr Deborah Schoen – High-Risk Foot and Rural Health Specialist, Lecturer at UWA.

Martin Fox (UK) – Community Vascular Podiatrist at NHS, Elected Member of Council at the Royal College of Podiatry, Fellow of the Royal College of Podiatry, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Glasgow.

Joanna Scheepers – Podiatry Manager and Coordinator of the Multidisciplinary Complex Foot Service at St John of God Midland, leading clinical practice in vascular assessment and wound care.

Dr Fernando Picazo – MD FEBVS (Hons) FRACS (Vascular), Consultant Vascular Surgeon at Royal Perth Hospital, Adjunct Clinical Senior Lecturer at Curtin

Key Themes and Highlights of the Program

• Insights into chronic venous disease, assessment techniques, and management options.

• 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.

• From Sound to Strategy: Understand when ABPI is helpful—and when it’s not—especially in diabetes. Sharpen your skills with real-world Doppler audio clips and interactive PAD/CLTI case-based discussions.

• 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.
