This year, we have further advanced the Compression Therapy Masterclass to allow even more time for practical, hands-on learning. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝟮-𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀: one self-paced online day with focused lectures, e-learning and readings, followed by an intensive in-person day dedicated to workshops, case discussions and expert-led clinical practice.
The self-paced online day provides updated, evidence-based teaching through five focused, pre-recorded lectures, an EWMA compression e-learning course with quizzes and a tailored reading list.
Together, these cover advanced topics such as compression system selection, special and complex cases, clinical pitfalls and learning points, inflammatory responses to compression, and the role of ankle function and gait in optimising venous return.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻:
🔹Hands-on compression workshops using a range of systems and materials
🔹Practical vascular assessment and interpretation in relation to compression
🔹Advanced hosiery selection and use in complex clinical scenarios
🔹Discussion of challenging real-life cases, including “out-of-the-box” uses of compression
🔹Throughout the course, participants practise compression techniques and clinical reasoning in a supervised environment, enhancing their ability to integrate advanced compression therapy safely and effectively into everyday wound care management.

𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
Clinicians who already use compression therapy in their daily practice and seek a deeper understanding of material properties, pressure profiles, and clinical application to enhance more advanced treatment options, adaptations and patient tolerance.
At registration, participants must confirm that they use compression therapy in daily practice.

𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹
Participants are expected to assess patients for compression therapy, be able to utilise a range of compression, and review outcomes of their interventions.
The new format requires 1 day of personal time in which to watch pre-recorded lectures and reading of suggested material.

𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴, 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰:
🔹Explain the key properties of compression materials and systems and be able to translate this knowledge to selection of products and personalised care.
🔹Have greater awareness of the compression range and how these can be used to adapt compression safely in complex or challenging clinical situations.
🔹Evaluate treatment effectiveness across different forms of compression.
🔹Greater knowledge of the requirements of the vascular examination of the lower limbs through the use of vascular Doppler and its relevance to compression therapy and decision making
🔹Translate new knowledge into driving an increase in use of compression therapy in your sector.
