I’m pleased to share that I’ve been invited to join the EWMA Diabetic Foot Committee. 👣

Diabetic foot disease remains one of the most challenging and preventable causes of morbidity worldwide, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to collaborative, evidence-based work in this space.🌍

I’m particularly honoured to be the only UK podiatric surgeon on the committee, and I look forward to representing UK clinical perspectives from our profession, while learning from international colleagues across diabetes, vascular surgery, nursing and wound care.

I hope this role also opens up further collaboration with UK diabetes clinicians, podiatrists, surgeons and multidisciplinary teams who share a commitment to improving outcomes in diabetic foot care.👣

Please feel free to connect or reach out.🙌
Thank you for the opportunity 🙏🏻

🌏World Diabetes Day🌏

Today in our diabetic foot MDT clinic, I’m reminded why prevention—while essential—is simply not enough.

💔This week alone has been a stark reflection of the realities our patients face. An old friend, younger than me, has reached stage 5 renal failure and started dialysis. 💔We’ve supported patients making incredibly difficult decisions, including those refusing admission, and worked to personalise safe solutions while trying to prevent sepsis. 💔We’ve seen firsthand how major amputations affect not only physical health but mental wellbeing, identity, and hope. We have planned prophylactic and curative surgery for so many people to reduce their risk and promote healing of existing wounds.

❤️And in the middle of all that, we were hugged by a patient in tears—tears of relief and joy—because her wound has finally healed, and she can now go on to have the reconstructive surgery she’s been waiting for!

Our MDT is incredible. Their compassion, expertise, and relentless commitment change lives every day. But the broader system still has gaps. Prevention matters, empowerment matters—but they must be supported by timely access, integrated care, and the resources needed to intervene early and effectively.👣

Today, we celebrate the work our teams do⭐️ but refferal numbers are increasing and work forces and resources are not.
We recommit to pushing for more—more equity, more support, more coordinated care—so fewer people fall through the gaps.

Prevention is vital.🙌
Empowerment is essential.💪
But together, we must do more.💔

Delighted to have presented at my first Convatec Symposium today at FDUK/Wounds UK in Harrogate!

It was a privilege to share the stage with Professor Michael Edmonds and Scarlet to discuss our real-world data and clinical experience using the nitric oxide dressing in chronic wound management.

With its ease of application, notable improvement in wound metrics, enhanced granulation, and excellent feedback from our multidisciplinary teams involved in shared patient care, I was proud to share our positive outcomes with the wider FDUK community.

A huge thank you to Convatec for the opportunity and to everyone who contributed to making this work possible.

✨ Excited to announce that I’ll be sharing the stage with Professor Mike Edmunds at Wounds UK Annual Conference 2025!

We’ll be presenting our findings on ConvaNOx dressings — a novel, multimodal, nitric oxide–generating wound dressing — following three months of real-world evaluation.

I’m really looking forward to discussing how this innovative technology is showing promise in improving clinical outcomes and advancing wound care practice.

Happy World Allied Health Professions Day 2025! 🎉

Proud to be part of the AHP family — Podiatric Surgeons at Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust — bringing together a wealth of experience, knowledge, care, and compassion for our patients every day.

Just last week, we were delighted to submit our service poster, “From Clinic to Theatre: Enhancing Engagement Between Podiatry, Podiatric Surgery, Endocrine, Vascular and Orthopaedics,” benchmarking our outcomes in amputation reduction and sharing positive Friends & Family feedback.

AHPs’ Day is a celebration of the UK’s third-largest healthcare workforce — professionals who work collaboratively to deliver exceptional, patient-centred care.

Here’s to continued teamwork, innovation, and making a difference — one step at a time. 👣💙

Delighted to be invited to speak at the 7th Transatlantic Wound Science & Podiatric Medicine/ All Ireland Podiatry Conference! Great weekend catching up with friends and colleagues, lots of learning, science and good conversations and thank you for asking me 😊

15/08/2025

Today at Great Western Hospital, I bumped into someone I know rather well… me.
Apparently, I’m now part of the corridor décor!

I’m humbled to be featured as an AHP Consultant Podiatric Surgeon — not just for the recognition, but because it shines a light on the vital work podiatry does in preventing amputations, improving quality of life, and advocating for patients.

To my colleagues: thank you for making every day meaningful, you’re the reason I smile in the poster… and in real life.

(Also, if you catch me giving my own photo a high-five in the corridor 🙏🏻… no you didn’t, although I suspect our Trainee in Podiatric Surgery Amirah Barwise may capture the evidence!)

Today I had the pleasure of presenting on limb salvage 🦵👣 at the The Primary Care Show for Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and was thrilled to have a nearly full audience, especially given my time slot.

It was fantastic to catch up with so many familiar faces and to see such strong engagement with the podiatry stream, supported by some truly inspiring speakers 😊

450 miles in 2 days: Manchester ➡️ Swindon ➡️ Birmingham ➡️ Home — all in between ward rounds, diabetic foot clinics, and a national conference 👣
Thank you for asking me Helen Branthwaite Lawrence Ambrose Royal College of Podiatry

Delighted to have opened this email today—thank you to Paul Chadwick and Giacomo Clerici MD for the encouragement and support in applying for membership.

I’m truly looking forward to becoming part of the International Association of Diabetic Foot Surgeons (IADFS)

As a podiatric surgeon deeply involved in limb salvage and preservation, I am excited by the opportunities for collaboration and shared learning within this global community. I hope to contribute meaningfully with my own experience and skills, while continuing to grow in the field of diabetic foot surgery—all in the pursuit of delivering the best possible care to our patients.👣

03/04/2025

I am delighted to recieve a second invitation to speak at the national primary care event The Primary Care Show, this year alongside my colleague Matt Mee, Podiatric Surgeon (SpR).

Together we will be showcasing the Great Western Hospital model and demonstrating how Podiatric Surgery can bring multidimensional value to the acute sector; and most importantly to the high risk patient.

We will be demonstrating how we use our podiatry roots 👣 and backgrounds we are proud of in prevention, health education, wound care, biomechanics, vascular, neurological, offloading and rehabilitation and how we integrate this with our extensive surgical skills to optimise patient care in limb salvage. ⭐️

How do we work alongside our MDT to bring a holistic, focussed, safe and dedicated treatment pathway to the high risk patient? 👣

How are we regulated and where does our governance sit in this setting?

What does this look like? 👣
We will bring a series of interactive cases to show the range of procedure classifications we cover for the high risk patient; elective, prophylactic, curative and emergency procedures.

We look forward to seeing you all there ❤️

Privileged to be invited to speak at EWMA • European Wound Management Association Barcelona 2025

We presented on Friday, I was very proud to share the stage with Paul Chadwick José Luis Lázaro-Martínez and Caroline McIntosh to present Euro-vision for the foot, Bill and Pam go international.
Opening with Bill and Pam’s narrative journey showing the best and worst scenarios of diabetic foot disease in the UK and then demonstrating what podiatry and podiatric surgery looks like in the rest of Europe, with a focus on Spain and Ireland alongside the UK.
Thank you for the amazing feedback and I’m delighted our media creation touched you all as well.
(Thank you to Michael Stephenson for the support and Helen Branthwaite )

Caroline, José and Paul it was a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to collaborating with you again n the future 👣

21/02/2025

Excited to announce we will be presenting at EWMA 2025 Barcelona 👣 after our first planning meeting today!

Honoured to be sharing the stage with Paul Chadwick José Luis Lázaro-Martínez and Caroline McIntosh to deliver:

Euro-vision for the Foot: Bill and Pam go International! ⭐️

The continuum from our successful presentation in London EWMA24 last year exploring the UK podiatry and podiatric surgery models through the eyes of Bill and Pam’s patient journeys in the ‘Road to hell or the road to well’!

This year our characters are hopping on a plane and exploring what Podiatry looks like in Europe…. Why we don’t all work the same and how high risk patients are managed in other European countries. Is there a potential for a competency framework for the at risk foot and we will show you some case studies demonstrating the real value our profession brings to the high risk/ diabetic foot MDT 🙌

We promise an animated and showstopping hour and can’t wait to see you all in EWMA • European Wound Management Association Barcelona 2025! Friday 28th March 11.45 ❤️👣
