A great opening @IC2ASecretariat keynote from Christopher Hutchins from @ProsFit focussed on prosthetic sockets. It's given me a lot to think for future research, incorporating digital technologies in practice and the global picture on sockets.

There are many small P&O units during the pandemic closed and staff self isolating. Others offer emergency care or special visits. Others redeployed. Some #prosthetics staff have no income and will struggle to open. Skills might be used for this in isolation hubs safely.
