I wasn't expecting another parcel in the post so soon after Christmas.

It's something very special - podiatrists will be interested!

All will be revealed very soon so keep an eye on my blog (www.foot.expert/blog) and social media!

What could it be?

Can you help?

I've attended more than 20 Royal College of Podiatry UK Annual conferences, as a delegate, speaker and conference chair. As part of my role at the Centre for the History of Podiatry, I am archiving all the conference brochures. Unfortunately, I am missing a few.

Do you have the 2012, 2023 or 2007 brochures. If you have anything pre-2007 even better!

Do you have any of these, in your clinic cupboards, loft, garage or sheds. If so let me know, and help to keep our professional history alive!

Thanks.

Ivan,
Chair, Centre for the History of Podiatry,
The Royal College of Podiatry.
