Professional Practice Guide -FCSV-EN

30 Professional Practice Guide 7. Acknowledgements Closing remarks The healthcare landscape is gradually evolving. As a healthcare professional, you are increasingly focused on the outcomes of your interventions — speaking less about disease and more about quality of life. This Professional Practice Guide for the Management of PAD was developed with that goal in mind: to support patient well- being by fostering close collaboration among interdisciplinary healthcare professionals, as well as with patients, their families, and caregivers. This publication is available in electronic format on the website of the Canadian Foundation for Vascular Health (www.fcsv-cfvh.org ).
