Live & Local Perth: Paediatric Workshop
Join us for an engaging workshop with Alicia James, where we will explore critical topics related to the use of orthoses and medications for children. This interactive workshop will be followed by an hour of relaxed networking which includes delicious finger food and beverages, and an opportunity to connect with local peers!
Orthoses for kids
In the first hour, we will focus on addressing common queries podiatrists receive regarding the use of orthoses in paediatric patients. This session will provide valuable insights into determining the appropriate orthotic solutions for children, offering practical guidance and strategies to address specific needs.
Safe use of medicines in the paediatric population
The second hour will delve into the use of medications in paediatric podiatry, discussing the nuances of prescribing and recommending medications for children. Additionally, the session will cover the treatment options for fungal nail and skin infections in paediatric patients, providing essential knowledge for podiatrists managing such conditions.
This workshop presents a unique opportunity for podiatrists to broaden their expertise in paediatric foot care, addressing challenges and concerns commonly encountered in practice.
One hour of networking, finger food and beverages will follow the workshop, giving you the opportunity to talk informally to the presenter and your peers.
Don't miss the chance to enhance your clinical skills and effectiveness in paediatric podiatry!
Program
The Presenter:
Alicia James
Alicia James was drawn to the profession of podiatry when she saw how, with the use of clinical podiatry care, you could assist people reduce and manage pain, improve their daily movement, and keep them playing and competing at their favourite sport. Whatever level of health and fitness a patient has, strong, pain-free feet will improve their quality of life.
Alicia has a strong interest in ensuring children of all ages, stages and abilities really can take their best steps, she is one the few podiatrists in Victoria to have completed additional training to become a Certified Paediatric Podiatrist – ApodA.
Alicia enjoys a career that has taken her across Private Practice, Public Health, Endorsement of Scheduled Medicines, Aged Care and Paediatrics. Podiatry has enabled so much opportunity that she is very grateful for. Alicia is currently the Interim Clinical Director Operations and Head of Podiatry at Monash Health, where she enjoys a new challenge of managing large multidisciplinary services.
She remains actively practicing in private practice (Momentum Podiatry) enjoying the buzz of the local community, with the boutique shops, fresh local coffee and family run (and family-friendly) restaurants. While she’s an early bird herself and often first at the clinic for early morning appointments, Alicia would like to encourage her own children to sleep in later than 5am!
