The Foot Health Conference

by The Ear & Foot Academy

A conference created exclusively for Foot Health Practitioners and those looking to build a career in foot health.

Designed specifically for Foot Health Practitioners, this conference is dedicated to supporting your continued learning, professional development and connection with others in the profession.

Welcome

Foot health professionals often work alone and we tend to have a very limited team or no team at all, no regulatory body to turn to, and very few chances to connect with others who truly understand the work we do.

It can feel isolating, and it can make learning and growth harder than it should be.

That’s exactly why we have created the Foot Health Professional Conference, right here in Essex.

This event is about bringing us together — to learn, to share, to support one another, and to build the kind of community our profession has been missing.

Our 2 internationalist speakers will be covering the following topics.

●Diabetic foot screening

●Practical use of emollients and topical steroids

●Tinea pedis and it's effects

●The functions and structures of the foot

●Latest international guidelines to foot care

AND MUCH MORE.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your practice, or you are interested in building a community of colleagues then

This is your space.

Your community.

Your chance to grow.

Your chance to learn and pass on your wisdom to others

Ultimately, we would love to build a platform for growth, companionship, continuing professional development and networking.

If you have any questions kindly send an e mail to [email protected]
