Oral Health Assessment by Lay Personnel for Older Adults

Abstract:
Nursing and healthcare literature about foot care focuses predominantly on people who have diabetes. There is a lack of clarity about which health and social care professionals should provide foot care to patients who can no longer manage to carry out this activity of daily living but do not have diabetes. This article explains why patients may no longer be able to look after their own feet and aims to give health professionals guidance on foot problems, assessment and care, and advise them on when it is appropriate to refer patients for specialist advice.
