Ankle Brachial Pressure Index and its role in Primary Health Care
$97 AUD
Do your clients require lower limb compression therapy? Before initiating treatment, it’s essential to assess for arterial disease—and that starts with an Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI), as recommended by Wounds UK (2019).
This practical short course, led by an experienced lymphoedema practitioner, provides a clear and accessible overview of venous versus arterial disease. You’ll gain confidence in recognising vascular red flags and performing a thorough vascular assessment prior to referring for ABPI.
Includes step-by-step video demonstrations of each clinical test and a downloadable workbook to guide you through the process with confidence and care.
