The objectives of this series include:
- The student should be able to recognise these diseases in their practice and formulate a plan of management. They should be able to judge if a referral to specialist attention is necessary and is able to reassure the patient.
- Students will learn about the current prevalence of vascular diseases, the risk factors, and their manipulation and improving the outcome of treatment.
- Students will be able to recognise the tale-tell signs of vascular diseases and will be able to perform a bedside test using hand-held Doppler.
- Students will learn about the indication for various surgical intervention, reducing the risks associated with vascular diseases and rehabilitation of these patients with amputation and stroke.
