The Total Foot and Ankle Clinic would like to invite you to their Podiatry Education Day held on the 26th of September, 2015 at the University of New England - Parramatta Future Campus (Level 1, 232 Church St, Parramatta NSW). The education session will run between 1pm-6pm and will focus on covering the topic of Biomechanical assessments and musculoskeletal examination. The presentations will be very interactive and related directly to the Podiatry scope of practice.

The education day will contain detailed knowledge and information that will help benefit you and your patients. Recently Health funds are making the move to make detailed biomechanical assessments compulsory for orthotic prescription.

The topics that will be covered include:
- Flat foot assessment
- Forefoot assessment
- What is Normal Ranges?
- Proposed changes in Health Fund Policies
- Importance of assessments and recording findings.
- Referral for further assessments - Ultrasound, X-ray, leg length and MRI
- Neglected Biomechanical assessment
- Gait assessment techniques
- Benefits of 'Footscan' assessments
- Very interesting case study discussions - including Proteus Syndrome, VACTERL, Hip Dysplasia and Celebral Palsy

The Podiatry Education Day will be presented by Podiatric Surgeon: Dr Ozan Amir and Podiatrist: Omar Najjarine.

Light refreshments, coffee and tea provided

Cost: $90

Will contribute to 5 hours towards your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) - Podiatry Education hours (certificate issued).

Other Health Professionals also welcome

Is this a private workshop being run at a university venue ? or run by the university?

So you have documentation on " the changes to health fund requirements"regarding orthotic therapy?

thx p

 

The venue is the university - Not run by the university - The university is a small campus hub with lecture room facilities that is suitable for this event.

Also the changes to health fund policies are anticipated changes, even-though some have already made the move a few years ago - like HCF which requires a bio-mechanical assessment for orthotic prescription. It will be outlined on the day and we are also hoping feedback from the Podiatry community. We have already been contacted by a Podiatrist who is working with one of the health funds in regards to this matter.

Hope to see you there!

 

Thanks for the reply - was concerned I had missed some formal information. Following the Medibank private letter, wondered if there were more funds welding questionable power.
