Specialist in Geriatric Palliative Care Course

What will I learn?

Improve your skills with our Specialist Course in Geriatric Palliative Care, designed for people who work with shoes. You'll learn how to design light shoes that can be adjusted to fit people whose feet swell, who have sensitive feet, and who find it hard to move around because they are old. You'll become good at making shoes that fit well, using materials that let the feet breathe, and soles that won't slip. You'll also learn about the needs of older people, do some research that will help, and write about real-life cases to improve their lives. Join us and change the way shoes are made for palliative care.
