Why attend
Podiatry 2026 is where practising clinicians, students, academics and leaders come together. The RCPod Learning Academy Day gives members the chance to do extra hands-on learning and CPD.
01
Evidence you can use on Monday
Clinical sessions built around real decisions — wound care, MSK, diabetes, scope of practice — not conference theory. Every hour is CPD you can log.
02
See what’s coming for the profession
Workforce, regulation, digital practice and the College’s policy direction, discussed by the people shaping them. Leave ahead of the change, not behind it.
03
The connections that outlast the week
The exhibition floor, the branches, the specialist groups, the people you only ever email. Coming together in one place is how the profession actually meets.
