Global Podiatry Summit in Copenhagen, April, 2026
Along with international colleagues from the UK, Spain, USA, and my La Trobe peer, Karl Landorf, it was great to be able to participate at this very Scandi-European congress.
As well-expressed by the conference chair, and President of the International Federation of Podiatrists, Daniel Weisz:
“Our theme, “Brick by brick – building podiatry for the future,” reflects our collective dedication to methodically strengthening the foundation of our profession while constructing innovative pathways forward. In Copenhagen, we will gather to share knowledge, exchange best practices, and forge the collaborations necessary to advance podiatric medicine in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape.
The summit represents a crucial opportunity to address the challenges and opportunities facing our profession globally. Together, we will explore cutting-edge research, technological advancements, and clinical innovations that will shape the next chapter of podiatric care.”

1. Pod talk – Green Podiatry,
2. Green Podiatry – Prioritising feet for active travel to boost human health, planet health, and avert tertiary healthcare load,
I also presented on Paediatric flat foot, and this attracted media coverage:
3. Flat feet triage – best evidence
