Live & Local Brisbane I Clinical Cases in Dermatology presented by Dr Ivan Bristow
Live & Local Brisbane: Clinical Cases in Dermatology
This interactive workshop, centred around real-world clinical cases, offers a unique opportunity for podiatrists to sharpen their diagnostic acumen (including dermoscopy) and therapeutic strategies for common and complex dermatological presentations in the lower limb. Through a series of engaging case discussions, delegates will gain practical, applicable knowledge to enhance patient outcomes and their own clinical confidence.
This workshop will provide the following benefits for clinicians, including:
Improved Diagnostic Accuracy: Develop a more nuanced understanding of the subtle and overlapping presentations of various foot and ankle dermatoses, leading to more precise and timely diagnoses with the aid of the dermatoscope.
Enhanced Patient Management: Gain evidence-based insights into the latest treatment modalities and management plans for a range of conditions, from inflammatory dermatoses to infections and neoplastic lesions.
Increased Clinical Confidence: Bolster your confidence in managing complex cases and recognising when onward referral to specialist services is appropriate.
Interactive Learning Environment: Engage in discussion, sharing experiences and best practices in a supportive and interactive setting.
Direct Application to Practice: The case-based format ensures that the knowledge and skills acquired are directly translatable to the clinical setting, improving the quality of patient care provided.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion participants will be able to:
- Identify and differentiate between a wide range of inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic skin conditions of the foot and ankle, including but not limited to:
- Tinea Pedis and Onychomycosis
- Eczema (Atopic, Discoid, and Venous)
- Psoriasis (Plaque and Pustular)
- Plantar Warts (Verrucae)
- Corns and Calluses
- Benign and Malignant Skin Lesions (e.g., Melanoma and Keratinocyte Cancers)
- Develop systematic approaches to the clinical assessment and investigation of dermatological presentations of the foot and ankle.
- Formulate appropriate and evidence-based management plans for the discussed conditions, including topical and systemic therapies.
- Recognise "red flag" symptoms that necessitate urgent referral to a dermatologist or other specialist.
- Apply the principles of patient education and self-management for chronic dermatological conditions of the lower limb.
