This webinar will provide tips on how to approach managing foot and ankle conditions remotely. The lockdown has fundamentally changed how GPs and Orthopaedic surgeons consult. Orthopaedic services are a hands-on speciality but basing decisions on remote consultations alone can be difficult.

This session will cover:

  1. A basic foot mechanics refresher
  2. Assessing patients remotely – tips to gain the best assessment and which investigations to use and when
  3. The current management of patients and appropriate referrals
  4. How long to treat – when to review and step-down or stop treatment.
  5. What to do about patients whose symptoms don’t respond.
  6. Identification of red flag symptoms – those that definitely need a referral, and those that can be managed in primary care.
