PHARMACISTS have a new opportunity to engage with diabetes customers, with the launch of a new "Dr Comfort Diabetic Footcare" professional service program.
Previously only available to podiatrists and physiotherapists, the offering is being launched into pharmacy with a tailored marketing and educational program and low-risk business model.
The program is a "step up in how pharmacy can engage with its existing diabetes customers about their foot care and ware needs," according to a spokesperson for Dr Comfort, which is a global leading provider of diabetic footwear.
It is estimated that about 50% of all people with diabetes have some form of nerve damage, with the program recommending a daily foot care checklist which can be integrated into a Diabetes MedsCheck highlighting to patients the risk of foot disease.
