Devon Care Homes Nursing Education Forum

We're pleased to invite you to our next Education Forum session on Diabetic Foot Checks, taking place on Wednesday 27th May, 2-3pm.

This session will focus on the importance of routine diabetic foot assessments within care settings, helping staff to recognise early signs of deterioration and understand when escalation or referral is required.

Specialist clinicians will cover:

• Why diabetic foot checks are essential in preventing complications and hospital admissions
• Recognising common signs of diabetic foot problems, including ulceration, infection, and reduced circulation
• How to carry out effective foot observations and identify residents at risk
• Escalation pathways and when to seek further clinical support
• Practical advice to support good foot care and promote resident wellbeing

The session will include a short presentation followed by an opportunity for questions and discussion.

We hope you’ll find this session informative, practical, and beneficial to your day-to-day practice.
