Introduction
In this course, we explore Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) through a video, an e-learning module, and a quiz. We examine the key factors involved in their identification, the essential steps for assessing the wound using the WI-fI tool, and the best practices for effective treatment. Lastly, we guide you through prevention strategies to help avoid further complications.
