This package is an introduction to biomechanics and is suitable for those that wish to refresh their knowledge of biomechanics. It investigates the basic concepts behind gait, and takes time to explain normal joint function within the foot. It also looks at the more commonly-occurring pathomechanical problems, and explains why these create a problem. The package gives information on how these problems present, their clinical signs, and most importantly, how to manage them. If biomechanics has always been a bit of a closed book to you, then this is the package that will help you see things from a different angle.

Chronic wound healing is fast becoming a major issue in Podiatry. In this area more than any other, changes and new discoveries occur rapidly, and it can be difficult to keep up with new ideas and products. This module, written by a subject specialist, aims to cut through some of the hyperbole, and present you with the information you need to identify ‘at-risk’ patients, and make appropriate clinical decisions regarding their management. If you have not updated your knowledge in this area within the last five years, this package will be ideal in introducing you to some of the newer concepts in tissue viability and wound management.

Pharmacology is an aspect of management in almost every patient within the Podiatry caseload. The majority of patients will be taking some kind of drug therapy, from simple non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, to complex immune-suppressants, from insulin analogues to cancer therapies. Whilst Podiatrists are not clinical pharmacologists, it is good practice to have a basic understanding of how drugs work. This module is designed to help you gain a good basic understanding of drug action, and investigates the action and side-effects of the more commonly-encountered drug groups.

An understanding of the paediatric patient takes time and knowledge. More frequently, children are becoming part of the caseload, and therefore practitioners are finding that they are required to carry out assessment of the paediatric patient more than ever. For many practitioners, this is a relatively poorly-understood area, and this package aims to revise the development of the lower limb in the foetus, through childhood, and into adulthood. It also explores some of the more common developmental abnormalities. This makes an ideal package for those who would like to develop a good, basic understanding of the foot and leg as it develops.
