A great few days @RoyColPod annual conference in Glasgow. Proud to have been selected for the best scientific poster presentation for our service evaluation into the prevalence of VTE in casted patients with active neuropathic foot disease.
Sad day at Sheffield Podiatry Service today - after 30+ years of hard work and dedication to the city and the profession, Head of Service Jeremy Walker retires. Thanks for all the help, advice & guidance over the years, you’ll be greatly missed.. Enjoy your well-earned down time!
@BupaUK It’s shocking to hear that after 3 months the lift in one of your care facilities still isn’t fixed - keeping my 92 year old grandad from seeing his wife of almost 70 years who is living with alzheimer’s disease. I’m sure the @CareQualityComm wouldn’t be pleased either.

Fantastic few days at @IntSympDF in Den Haag, The Netherlands presenting our latest feasibility study into diabetic foot management. Time to go home, write up and plan for the future. Great to catch up with colleagues too.
Reading this paper makes me take a step back and realise how lucky I was to be diagnosed early in my disease process. Hats off to @IbdSheff@shefgastro. #IBD#ulcerativecolitis
The Royal College of Podiatry has received a new pay offer for its members working in NHS England. Full details on our website at
https://t.co/eZzNb47tZO
Members affected by the pay offer have also been contacted by email.
General workplace consensus this week:
- Nice that the @RoyColPod can ballot for council but industrial action ‘consultation’ hidden in email.
- Abundance of private practice representation on ballot.
- Plenty questioning what @RoyColPod are doing for NHS members. #podiatry
When people talk about timeless records, they don't come much more memorable than this!
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, turns 17 years old today and it still sounds just as good as it did back then 🎂
Absolutely not. Another policy that will do more damage, target those in low-socioeconomic areas and will eventually lead to more inequality and a rise in chronic poor health of those who need care the most.
When you hear about “record NHS spending”, remember that all the dodgy contracts like Mone’s faulty PPE and Dido’s half-arsed Test & Trace were all included in the NHS budget - even though we received none of those funds.
In Harry’s words, “You don’t strike because you want to. You strike to say ‘I’m still here. I still matter. You will see me.’”
Solidarity with all the RCN nurses today ✊. #StandingAtTheSkysEdge
