In recognition of this day, Steps Charity NPC is launching a World Clubfoot Day 2021 campaign; featuring clubfoot patient and family stories, stories from the clinics and updates on how clubfoot treatment has been continued during the global Covid-19 pandemic.
In addition, Steps is launching a three-day Clubfoot Clinic Coordination Webinar for in-clinic staff working in state health clubfoot clinics in South Africa. This pioneering workshop, the first of its kind globally, will be held on 29 June, 6 July and 13 July 2021.
The webinar will consist of three separate sessions. The first and third sessions are two hours, the second session is two hours and 30 minutes.
With a focus on patient-centred care, the webinar is designed to be a forum for everybody involved in clubfoot treatment to meet, share experiences, and ensure that clubfoot treatment is provided with consistent, standardised support. The programme is interactive, with breakaway groups and group discussions.
The content is suitable for anybody working in state health clubfoot clinics in South Africa, whether they are health professionals or in a support role such as data collection or parent education.
