DEBRA continues to identify the importance of specialised EB podiatry services due to the positive impact on the quality of life that can be achieved for people living with all types of EB. DEBRA has been working with the Queensland University of Technology to open a podiatry clinic in Brisbane, specifically catering to those living with EB.
As the first of its kind in Queensland, the clinic has received strong interest from the community with its first session on 23 January already booked with 7 patients. Depending on demand, the clinic will be held on a quarterly basis or may increase to every two months. Dr Tariq Khan, consultant Podiatrist and specialist in EB will be the clinician working with DEBRA to deliver this service.
