What a weekend at the APodA Conference!

We’re so pleased to share that the Australasian College of Podiatric Surgeons (ACPS) had a really positive and engaging presence at this year’s Australian Podiatry Association (APodA) national conference.

Over three full days, we had some great chats with podiatrists, students, and future surgeons - and loved hearing about everyone’s journeys, interests, and passion for the profession. It was a fantastic chance to connect, answer questions, and talk about the future of foot and ankle care in Australia.

We were pleased to engage in meaningful conversations with members of the APodA throughout the conference. It was a valuable opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and reinforce our shared commitment to the ongoing growth and development of podiatry across all scopes of practice. We look forward to exploring future opportunities that benefit the broader community and support the continued growth of our field.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth - whether you had a question, shared an idea, or just said hi. We’re always here for a conversation and always happy to listen.

👣 Here’s to connection, collaboration, and a stronger future for podiatry - together.

“Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said.

We are at our best when we serve others.”
