In 2022, Wounds Canada updated Inlow's 60-second Diabetic Foot Screen tool to increase its functionality and, ultimately, its ease of use in clinical practice. The new version was launched at a workshop held at the Diabetes Canada national conference in Calgary, Alberta in November 2022. As a part of continuing professional development (CPD) the workshop focused on the understanding of the importance and role of diabetic foot screening in the diabetes care setting, developing skills and knowledge about when and how to screen for diabetic foot disease and understanding how to implement the diabetic foot care pathway through use of the tool. CPD encompasses the multiple educational and developmental activities that healthcare and social service professionals undertake to maintain and enhance their knowledge, skills, performance and relationships in the provision of health care and social services. Thus, as part of the processes we assessed the impact of CPD activities on participants' intentions to use Inlow's 60-second Diabetic Foot Screen after the workshop. These preliminary results illustrate the potential of using the CPD-REACTION tool, a theoretically validated questionnaire, in CPD activities for Inlow's 60-second Diabetic Foot Screen. This can improve its implementation, its scaling, and ultimately its impact on clinical practice across all care settings and on population health.
