This months learn topic takes on some exploration of the foot and ankle before focusing on Achilles Tendinopathy. We have kept the foot and ankle section quite broad allowing you to explore in your own time. Conversely the Tendinopathy and more specifically the Achilles Tendinopathy section are more detailed to enable you to gain a good understanding of this condition.
There is the opportunity this month to have a go at the quiz to earn a certificate to prove your knowledge on this subject. We also have another 5 new quizzes related to the foot and ankle in case you feel like gathering more proof of your learning and knowledge.
So, grab a coffee and get ready to learn….
