I am very satisfied with the course, I wish I had found out about Nursing Foot Care sooner!!
The clear concise direction and teaching of the program with a progression from start to finish. There was a good flow to the program - This theoretical review was in depth and thorough. Seeing the examples and hearing the words made it so much clearer.
I liked the techniques shown to provide compression and also the discussions on the treatment options for various conditions of the lower limb.
