Life on MARS: Findings from the Successful Implementation of the Manchester Amputation Reduction System


Join us for a compelling discussion featuring Dr. Naseer Ahmad and Kristen Sorensen moderated by Dr. Laura Swoboda on June 25 7:30 PM EST as we explore real-world outcomes from the MARS approach to limb preservation.

The Manchester Amputation Reduction Strategy (MARS) is a groundbreaking initiative out of the UK aimed at significantly reducing preventable lower limb amputations across Greater Manchester. This webinar will delve into the core components of MARS, including its focus on early detection and management of chronic foot and leg ulcers, the implementation of integrated care pathways, and the crucial role of multidisciplinary teams. We will explore how MARS addresses key risk factors such as diabetes and peripheral arterial disease, and how it leverages innovative IT solutions to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. Join us to learn how this comprehensive strategy is saving limbs, improving quality of life, and serving as a model for other regions.
