Advanced Diabetic Foot Screening
Description
Improve your confidence in diabetic foot screening with this practical, in-depth webinar series designed for healthcare professionals around the world.
Diabetic foot complications remain one of the most serious and costly consequences of diabetes, yet many cases of ulceration and amputation are preventable with early identification of risk.
Effective screening is the first and most important step in protecting patients from avoidable harm.
The Advanced Diabetic Foot Screening webinar series has been designed to help clinicians strengthen their assessment skills and take a more structured, evidence-informed approach to diabetic foot examinations.
Across three focused sessions, the series explores the structural, vascular and neurological factors that contribute to ulcer risk, giving you a comprehensive framework for identifying early warning signs before tissue breakdown occurs.
Session 1: Structural assessment
This session explores the structural changes that can increase diabetic foot risk, helping you identify deformity, pressure points, altered foot shape and areas vulnerable to tissue breakdown. You’ll learn how to carry out a more focused structural assessment, recognise key warning signs and understand how structural findings contribute to overall risk classification and management planning.
Session 2: Vascular assessment
This webinar focuses on the vascular element of diabetic foot screening, supporting you to recognise signs of reduced blood flow and understand their clinical significance. The session covers practical assessment considerations, how vascular findings influence risk, when further investigation may be needed and how early recognition can support safer, more timely intervention.
Session 3: Neurological assessment
This session examines the neurological factors that contribute to diabetic foot complications, including loss of protective sensation and changes in patient feedback. You’ll gain practical guidance on carrying out neurological screening, interpreting findings and understanding how sensory changes can increase the risk of unnoticed injury, ulceration and delayed presentation.
Delivered by experienced clinicians and educators, each session combines practical guidance with clinical insight to help you translate screening findings into meaningful risk stratification and patient management strategies.
Across the series, you will develop
- Greater confidence in carrying out structured diabetic foot assessments.
- A clearer understanding of structural, vascular and neurological risk factors.
- Improved ability to identify early warning signs before tissue breakdown occurs.
- A more consistent approach to risk classification and onward management.
- Practical knowledge you can apply directly in clinical practice.
Whether you are looking to refresh your knowledge or deepen your confidence in diabetic foot assessment, this series will help you refine your screening approach, improve early detection of risk factors and support better long-term outcomes for patients living with diabetes.
