PodChatLive Episode 99 with Peta Tehan and Martin Fox [Vascular Podiatry]
In episode 14 back in March 2018 (nearly 4 years and 85 episodes ago) we were joined by Dr Peta Tehan from the University of Newcastle, Australia, and Mr Martin Fox from Manchester, UK to talk about lower limb vascular assessment. It remains one of our most popular episodes to date, so we thought we'd invite them back on to give us an update on Vascular Podiatry. What has changed in the last 4 years? Why should we all be doing femoral pulse checks and toe pressures as standard? And if your patient demographic is >60years old are you as familiar as you NEED to be with the 3P's of PAD assessment? Hope you enjoy the episode.
