ROYAL COLLEGE OF PODIATRY
Innovation and research
What's changing in podiatry and healthcare. New technologies, emerging evidence and developments that could influence future practice.
Evidence in Practice is a new regular series from The New Podiatrist bringing together clinicians and researchers to highlight new evidence and explore what it could mean for day-to-day practice. This month, the team explores three studies examining movement, function and rehabilitation. From foot orthoses and balance to whether common strengthening exercises are really doing what we think they are.
Podiatry teams in Leeds and Belfast have been shortlisted in this year’s Advancing Healthcare Awards.
Professor Catherine Bowen has been reappointed as a Senior Investigator by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, a recognition that highlights podiatry’s growing influence in health research and national care priorities.
Members of the Dermatology in Podiatry Special Advisory Group have developed a new app designed to help podiatrists recognise suspicious lesions and structure referrals. We spoke to Sarah Bradshaw and Michelle Reynolds about the clinical problem they’ve been trying to solve and how the tool was developed.
As attention turns to the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States, we revisit the biomechanics of football boots with UEFA medical specialist Dr Katrine Okholm Kryger – exploring performance, injury risk and why women’s boots still lag behind.
