Education Presentations
Foot Doctor Podiatry can provide a speaker for your monthly meeting or conference.
Foot Doctor Podiatry conducts monthly Diabetic Self-Management Education presentations to newly diagnosed diabetic patients for Primary Health Organisations.
GPs, nurse groups, and physiotherapists have heard similar speeches from us but in recent times this has expanded to many other groups such as support groups like diabetes support, arthritic support, men's health days, Maori health day speaches and even to interest groups like business meetings, retirement communities, and the Lions Club.
By doing this it demystifies diabetes and associated topics including foot care, the best diabetic food choices, new medications, and lifestyle adjustments in a friendly, casual approach.
Most of us know someone with diabetes or have heard of someone with diabetes, but we don't completely comprehend how it affects people, the healthcare system, and the nation. Diabetes is expanding faster than projected and by being a part of meetings such as this we believe it helps give people the knowledge to control and manage their lifestyle to help minimise diabetic risk.
We see this as a community service, and therefore, there is no charge associated to this service, so feel free to email us for more information..
