Abstract:

Within healthcare, the concept of specialisation remains both poorly defined and under-debated in the literature. This research analyses the concept of specialisation and assesses the maturity of the concept of the diabetes specialist podiatrist; tracing the origins, change over time and current status of podiatric specialisation in diabetes. Literature pertaining to the legal implications of specialist practice, settings and titles is reviewed and a definition of specialisation within the context of healthcare is proposed. The initial concept analysis led to refinement of research questions w

Abstract:

Introduction: Stump healing is essential in patients with a lower limb amputation in order for them to mobilize again. Little research has been being done on factors affecting stump healing. The aim of this paper is to explore the effect of haematological makers as well as patient characteristics on stump healing after patients have undergone an amputation procedure. In addition, a practical model regarding factors that affect stump healing was developed. Methods: Patients who underwent a major lower limb amputation (above knee and below knee) at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh from the perio

Abstract:

Shoe wear patterns have potential value in clinical diagnosis and forensic identification, although they lack rigorous study. Podiatrists have claimed understanding of shoe wear patterns, associating foot pathologies with characteristic patterns and implying a "onecondition, one wear pattern" hypothesis. This project was commenced to understand and clarify this relationship. Round one of an initial Delphi exercise to seek agreements over such wear pattern associations however indicated that, many different patterns could be associated with single named foot pathologies with round three agreeme

Abstract:

An investigation into the effects of plantar foot pressure on the microcirculation of healthy subjects and patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis was carried out. In the light of no equipment available to carry out this study a new system was developed. A shoe device was built with a combined pressure/skin blood flow transducer embedded in a three-tier piston mechanism in the heel so that plantar foot pressure could be applied/removed and quantified. The skin blood flow transducer made contact with the skin and was able to collect data about the microcirculatory state of the skin. The first system

Abstract:

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) frequently affects the foot. Custom moulded foot orthoses are effective in the management of the foot in RA; however the process of manufacture is lengthy, resulting in a delay of treatment for the patient. Offthe- shelf foot orthoses can be dispensed at the chairside on the day of diagnosis, so the patient receives treatment immediately. This is particularly crucial in RA, as early intervention is thought to improve patient outcomes in the long term. Anecdotal evidence suggests that Podiatrists do prescribe off-the-shelf foot orthoses for the management of the foot i

This study examines the professionalisation strategies of British podiatry between 1960 and 1997, following the introduction of state registration as a pre-requisite for NHS employment. It is primarily concerned with relations within podiatry and between podiatry, medicine and the state. Analyses of these relationships are mainly informed by the Weberian concepts of social closure, professional dominance and autonomy. The major changes, opportunities and challenges to professional development in podiatry in the post-registration era are mapped in thematic and chronological sequence. Qualitativ

Abstract:

The ability to learn and work in a multidisciplinary team is crucial to the delivery of healthcare that is ‘fit for purpose’ in the twenty-first century. Consequently, interprofessional education (IPE) is a mandatory requirement for pre-registration training in health and social care. However, the evidence base for the effectiveness of such programmes remains limited. This evaluative study aims to explore the potential influence of IPE at pre-registration level, using podiatry as an exemplar.

Foot and ankle involvement in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is common, and frequently impacts negatively on quality of life. Systemic interventions reduce overall disease activity.

Health outcomes fulfill a number of roles in the health sector. Economists, clinicians, researchers and managers use health outcomes in a range of different contexts for distinct purposes. New management approaches that use contracts as the basis for health service accountability have attempted to take health outcomes from their clinical role into a management setting. In particular, the purchasers and managers of some health services expect that service providers should demonstrate that they improve the health outcomes of their patients to justify their on-going funding. However, a number of

Abstract:

This study examines the impact of the transition from diploma to degree on the initial education and training of three para-professions in England; chiropody, occupational therapy (OT) and radiography. It focuses on the nature of and reasons for changes to their initial professional education and training and the potential impact of these changes on their professionalisation. The study adopted a multiple method approach; a historical review, which included documentary sources and interviews with key informants, aimed at identifying how and why these three para-professions wanted to achieve all

Abstract:

Health care providers in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia debate the need for expanding the role of podiatrists' to include the surgical care of foot problems. Paradoxically, during a twelve month period from July 1995 to June 1996, Fellows of the Australian College of Podiatric Surgeons (FACPS) performed over 1,500 individual surgical operations on approximately 785 Australians. Few prospective investigations of podiatric surgeon outcomes have been conducted, none of which have taken place in Australia. More particularly, no studies have used valid psychometric instruments t

Abstract:

Relatively little information has been reported about foot and ankle problems experienced by nurses, despite anecdotal evidence which suggests they are common ailments. The purpose of this study was to improve knowledge about the prevalence of foot and ankle musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and to explore relationships between these MSDs and proposed risk factors. A review of the literature relating to work-related MSDs, MSDs in nursing, foot and lower-limb MSDs, screening for work-related MSDs, foot discomfort, footwear and the prevalence of foot problems in the community was undertaken.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La diabetes es una patología crónica que constituye un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. Su prevalencia se ha triplicado en los últimos 20 años. En Cataluña desde el año 2010 tenemos referencia de que la tendencia está en constante ascenso. El pie diabético es una de las complicaciones que preocupa y que implican un gasto económico. Es por ello, que se deben incidir sobre sus factores de riesgo y medidas de prevención con el fin de minorizar estas consecuencias.

Abstract:

This work presents a study of the current practice of cardiovascular examination of pre-surgical patients by UK Podiatric Surgeons. Podiatric Surgeons trained and educated in the United Kingdom are unique in that whilst they are specialist qualified, they do not hold a degree in medicine. As such certain peripheral examinations which involve the peri-operative process but may not actually effect the outcome of the surgical procedure are performed in a brief but effective manner in a style which may be considered as 'non traditional'. This thesis examines, not only the current practice, but exp
