Summary

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) occurs when the vessels carrying blood to the legs become narrowed or blocked. It affects 1 in 5 people aged over 60 and are at risk of losing their leg, developing a heart attack or stroke, or die early.

Early symptoms of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) include aching in the legs when walking which may not be recognised by healthcare professional. Our research has shown that knowledge and recognition of PAD is poor in healthcare professionals and trainees. There appears to be little time provided within healthcare professional training for PAD.

To improve PAD recognition/management, the investigators want to identify the current level of training given to healthcare professionals; opinion towards PAD related to their training and how they prefer to receive training.

With the information gained from this research, the development of an educational training package for GPs, practice nurses and their trainees to improve recognition of PAD is anticipated.
