Ankle Brachial Pressure Index and its role in Primary Health Care

Do your clients require lower limb compression therapy? Before initiating treatment, it’s essential to assess for arterial disease—and that starts with an Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI), as recommended by Wounds UK (2019).

This practical webinar, led by an experienced lymphoedema practitioner, provides a clear and accessible overview of venous versus arterial disease. You’ll gain confidence in recognising vascular red flags and performing a thorough vascular assessment prior to referring for ABPI.

Includes step-by-step video demonstrations of each clinical test and a downloadable workbook to guide you through the process with confidence and care.

Learning Outcomes:

• Explain the difference between venous and arterial disease in simple terms
• Identify the typical assessment findings of vascular and arterial disease
• Highlight the importance of performing an ABPI/TBI
• Evaluate patient suitability for lower limb compression therapy based on the results of the vascular assessment
• Support the billing of an ABPI
• Assess the requirement for an ABPI
• Apply a case study to reinforce learning
• Compare the pros and cons of different ABPI devices
• Demonstrate how to perform a vascular assessment
