3rd Lockdown Newsletter

We have lost count of the number of days we have been in lockdown and as each day rolls into the next we have tried to collate resources to help you through. 

Webinars

We are adding live webinars for you to attend so please keep checking.  The value of the live webinar is that you are able to attend in real time and ask questions.  Feel that you are part of the team.   So far new webinars include:

Rheumatoid Conditions – improving the quality of patient care. – Simon Speight, MSc Podiatry

Neuromas – Overview, diagnoses, treatment and management. - Stacey J. Clarke, DPM

Sports–how to achieve PodiatryNZ sports accreditation status. - Sarah Duncan M.Sport.PodNZ

 

The NZ Telehealth Leadership Group (TLG) is hosting a series of webinars to help support providers who are implementing telehealth services such as phone or video consultations. These webinars will assist providers in achieving safe, secure and sustainable telehealth solutions which complement their existing in-person relationships.The first webinar, we will reflect on the rapid adoption of telehealth we have seen over the last four weeks. Guests will discuss a broad range of topics including clinical, legal, software, security and more. Register direct (you will need to keep your own record to upload to Registration Board for CPD).

Take Part in New Research

AUT are conducting a study exploring the knowledge, attitudes and practice of CPR among NZ podiatrists. The survey contains questions about current knowledge of CPR and your attitude about how and when you would use CPR. The survey is anonymous and will take approx. 5-10 minutes to complete. On submission you will be offered the opportunity to enter a separate prize draw for one of three $100 petrol vouchers. This study was approved by the AUT Ethics Committee on 5th February 2020. AUTEC Reference number 20/30. See the link here for the survey.  

Aged Care during Lockdown

Do you need to provide some advice to your Aged Care Facilities during lockdown?  We have prepared a brochure that you can download and email to your Aged Care Facility as guidance on foot care during COVID-19.

New On Demand e-Learning

Our supply of e-learning resources is growing.  Previous PodiatryNZ webinars are available on-demand and thanks to our very good friends at Axis Sports Medicine and Mobile Health we have been able to access  webinars on a variety of health, sports and telehealth topics. 

Register for webinars via our e-learning portal and your CPD points will be recorded on your member record. 

Host Your Own Webinar

In addition to the National webinars we can set-up regional meetings.  These meetings allow you to have a good old chat with your colleagues, or as Waikato did last week, get into some group exercise.  (How much would we love to show you that video!)  It’s easy, email us with day and time – we will do the rest, it’s that easy. Remember, by working through our system, you will receive CPD points for the event.
