info_outlineHave you ever stopped and considered what good podiatry is? Is it having more podiatry knowledge, or is it having more tools in the toolbelt and not being a one-trick pony when it comes to treating certain foot problems?
Jonathan Small is a UK podiatrist. In the episode, Jonathan and I discuss what we think good podiatry is and why you should be striving to become a better podiatrist; it's good for the patient, and it's good for the podiatry profession.
We also discuss:
- The mother or child test and best level of care.
- Why treating a patient with an orthotic may not be the best option.
- Teaching patients how to do things at home and taking responsibility for their own health
- Why YOUR BEST may not always be the best for the patient.
- Know your limitation and know when to refer to another podiatrist.
- Managing your diary is part of RESPONSIBLE PODIATRY and being a good podiatrist.
- Saying you're booked out weeks ahead is not good podiatry for your patients that are in pain.
"When the image of podiatry improves, so will the perception of podiatry".
Seven Steps to Follow
- Know your limitations
- Refer on when necessary
- Build network links
- Treat ethically
- Manage patient expectation
- Provide the most accurate and up to date unbiased information available
- Carry out safe treatment
