The Royal College of Podiatry Conference 2021

After nearly 2 years of absence from the Royal College of Podiatry Conference, it was great to see it return. Welcoming familiar faces, new delegates, and professionals in the community, it felt great to connect in person again. The 2021 conference was held in the ACC Exhibition Centre in our hometown, Liverpool. Located on the Iconic Liverpool waterfront you get to see the best of the city as well as enjoy the new exhibition centre. 

This conference is one of the largest professional podiatry events in Europe. The conference showcases a diverse programme of education and scientific presentations and provides excellent opportunities for delegates to meet with colleagues, like minded professionals and friends to share, debate and network. It is the only event in Europe featuring over 80 podiatry suppliers and manufacturers and where we can meet with over 1,500 of our customers in one place.

Our Stand

This year we set up a centre stand showcasing our innovative podiatry technology including the exclusive EMS Guided DolorClast Therapy systems, Medicapteurs T-plate, Tecno-Gaz autoclaves, our latest Slimflex & Interpod ranges, podiatry drills, domiciliary equipment, Silipos gels, Freezpen, Voxelcare iPad scanner and reliable podiatry Instruments. 

Our Mission

As this was the first Royal College of Podiatry conference in over 18 months, we wanted to feature the importance of the advancements of podiatry technology and the benefits of the new treatments that have developed since the last conference.

We held a lot of discussions with the community about the impact over the last two years and how they have fared in such a difficult period, but most importantly how we can move forward as a community and an industry.

Graham Beck - T-Plate

Our very own Graham hosted a talk around the T-plate system. Here is what Graham had to say:

The talk around pressure plate analysis focused on the level of information a clinic can gain by having these systems in their clinic. The delegates seemed very interested in how the level of information is received and put into practice, along with it being a cost-effective product. The modern design of the product, ease of use, and user-friendly software made the T-plate stand out to the delegates. This made the demos very engaging as they were keen to understand how to put such a user friendly, yet effective system, into practice.

Live Stand Demos & Product Specialists

Our Technical solutions specialist Graham Beck hosted the Medicapteurs T-plate demonstrations and live examples of foot pressure plates being the most accurate and cost-effective way to identify the plantar pressure profile. Graham highlights how the system provides a level of information beyond the capabilities of more traditional tools.
