Sore, aching, or tired feet make it difficult for an older person to stay active and independent, and can affect how they walk. Foot problems can also be the first sign of more serious medical conditions such as diabetes, circulation, or nerve problems. Polypharmacy, due to multiple medical conditions as we age, is a major risk factor for falls. This webinar will have Dr. Amy Page, a registered consultant pharmacist and qualified biostatistician from the University of Western Australia, and Prof. Hylton Menz, professor of podiatry at La Trobe University, exploring the links between foot health and falls risk, raising awareness of the link between polypharmacy, foot health and falls, while discussing ways in which health professionals can identify risk earlier when working with older adults.

Who should attend?

This webinar training is aimed at podiatrists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and allied health professionals.
