The Foot Disorders & Treatment course offers a comprehensive introduction to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various foot-related conditions. It begins with a focused overview of common foot disorders, examining the causes, symptoms, and physical manifestations of conditions such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, athlete’s foot, calluses, and structural abnormalities. This foundational knowledge helps learners understand how these disorders affect mobility, posture, and overall well-being.

As the course progresses, learners are introduced to a variety of treatment approaches used to manage foot disorders, including both conservative and advanced clinical methods. The curriculum covers hygiene practices, use of orthotics, topical treatments, and when to refer patients for medical or surgical intervention. A dedicated lecture explores diseases of the nails, such as fungal infections, ingrown toenails, and nail dystrophies, with practical guidance on identifying and treating these conditions effectively.

An important module is devoted to the management of high-risk patients, such as individuals with diabetes, circulatory disorders, or compromised immune systems. These patients require specialised care and early intervention to prevent complications like ulcers or infections. The course emphasises risk assessment, patient education, and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment planning.

By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to assist in clinical environments, support patients in managing chronic foot issues, and contribute to overall foot health promotion.
