Podiatry Hive

A conference aimed at helping podiatrists in the UK to grow their practices has been hailed a success.

The Business Reset Conference was organised by business mentors Podiatry Hive in conjunction with leading medical products distributor Algeos.

The conference was a sell-out with 45 podiatrists from around the UK attending the two-day event in London.

Algeos is partnering with Podiatry Hive to promote the service which has already proved a huge success in Australia.

The conference ran a number of different sessions looking at key issues including practice management, marketing, product selling, HR, business planning and goal-setting.

The sessions were led by Podiatry Hive’s Troy Parsons, a leading Australian podiatrist, experienced business mentor Jonathon Heath and Michelle Weddell, Algeos’s Head of Education and herself an experienced podiatrist.

Michelle said: “We have received fantastic feedback from delegates who attended the first Podiatry Hive conference.

“Our partnership with Podiatry Hive fits neatly with our desire to educate by providing podiatrists in the UK with business support to help them develop their practices, enhance the services they offer and become more profitable.”

Troy Parsons believes there is a lack of knowledge in the UK about podiatrists and the services they provide.

Troy said: “At present, perhaps one in two members of the public knows what we do. That means 30 million people in the UK who do not know what a podiatrist does. We have an opportunity to work together to raise the bar for podiatry across the globe.”

He added: “Our vision is to help podiatrists regain control of their lives. We want to empower them to operate successful businesses and allow them the time to mentor the next generation of podiatrists, while educating the wider community about what podiatry offers.”
