Message from the ENPODHE 2018 Congress Chair Professor Chris Nester

It is my pleasure to invite you to join us in the School of Health Sciences at the University of Salford, for the first ever ENPODHE congress hosted in the UK.

The Salford Podiatry school is one of the oldest in the UK and we are proud of both our heritage and our current teaching, clinical and research activities. We look forward to sharing these with you in March 2018.

The congress is an opportunity to learn from your peers, senior figures in our profession, and benefit from scholars in related areas of knowledge (such as Dr Sicco Bus). We welcome the ENPODHE community to our campus where research, teaching and learning co-exist and hope the congress is a platform for podiatry student and staff learning.

We believe Podiatry has a bright future and that through collaboration and integration of professional activities we can create effective foot health care for patients and exciting and rewarding careers for talented students (and each other).

On behalf of the ENPODHE 2018 organising committee (Dr Jane McAdam, Veronica Newton, Jo Schofield).
