A senior requiring safe medical foot care should be seen by a footcare nurse for several important reasons. Firstly,  I am a health professional with specialized training and expertise in managing foot-related conditions and complications. I have a comprehensive understanding of foot anatomy, common foot problems, and associated medical conditions such as Diabetes, Peripheral Artery Disease, and Nephropathy.

 

This knowledge allows me to accurately assess, and treat foot issues while considering the individual's overall health. Additionally, I am well-versed in infection control practices and adhere to strict standards of hygiene, minimizing the risk of infection and cross-contamination. I will provide personalized care tailored to the specific needs of seniors, offering comprehensive assessments, wound assessments, nail care, and patient education to promote optimal foot health. Overall, a Senior FootWISE visit will ensure that seniors will receive professional, specialized and safe medical footcare.
