Feet First: Footcare for Nurses

Feet First is a practical, clinically-grounded guide to footcare nursing, written for nurses who want to specialise in caring for the feet of seniors and clients living with diabetes. Drawing on years of hands-on foot care work, this course walks you through the everyday conditions you will meet in practice — corns, fungal nails, bunions, cracked heels — through to the structural, vascular, neurological and diabetic complications that carry real risk if missed.

Each topic follows the nursing process (Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation), so you build a repeatable, reliable way of working through any foot you encounter, not just a list of facts to memorise. You will also find dedicated sections on caring for older adults, clients with dementia, disability or in palliative care, cultural considerations, and the professional, legal and business foundations of running a footcare practice.
