Subsequent increased healthcare utilisation and burden of care, means heavy Physiotherapist involvement in recovery from hospitalisations including assessment, treatment and discharge planning. This presentation will cover concepts of chronic disease, multimorbidity, comorbidity and frailty for diverse populations, including those who identify as ATSI, and evidence for their Physiotherapy care.

Jacqui Kay and Hannah Crowley are the clinical leads for General Medicine and Aged Care at The Royal Melbourne Hospital and have a passion for the care of vulnerable populations. Both have postgraduate qualifications and successful grants in improving the care of Australian's with chronic disease including diabetes and dementia/delirium.

Plantar heel pain is a common and persistent cause of foot pain affecting a wide range of individuals. Evidence of intrinsic foot muscle deficits associated with plantar heel pain, along with enhanced understanding of the role of these muscles, suggests that this may be an important component in management of the condition. Melinda will discuss the evidence, including her own research using ultrasound imaging and high-field 7T MRI. Case examples will illustrate how to use this knowledge in clinical decision making.
