We're at The Foot & Ankle Show!

Join Advanced MSK Podiatrist and Clinical Educator Louise Fisher tomorrow at 2pm for a practical workshop:

Scan Smarter: Mastering Digital Foot Scanning for Custom Orthoses

- Explore and examine evidence behind digital scanning
- Compare strengths and limitations of each method
- See pratical digital scanning demonstrations devliered by experts
- Consider how workflow choices influence foot capture, prescription control, and, ultimately, device performance.

As clinical practice shifts towards fully digital workflows, the question is no longer whether to utilise digital scanning - but how to implement it well.

We hope to see you there! Don't forget to tag us 🙌

Loss of protective sensation is one of the strongest predictors of diabetic foot ulceration - yet early neurological changes can be subtle and easily missed without structured screening.

The second in our Advanced Diabetic Foot Screening series, this in-depth neurological-focused webinar is designed to strengthen your confidence in assessing sensory loss, interpreting findings, and stratifying risk appropriately.

Delivered by Lecturer, Clinical Eduactor, and Clinician Michelle Weddell, this session explores:

• Evidence-informed neurological screening techniques
• Understanding loss of protective sensation and what it truly means
• Applying findings to risk classification and preventative care planning

All subscribers will recieve 90 days access to the webinar, so don't worry if you can't make it on the night - you'll still be supported by the Academy team.

Another brilliant Algeos Academy session last week with Level 5 students at Cardiff Metropolitan University on prescription variables in foot orthoses. We delivered this one via Teams, but the energy, curiosity and engagement were just as strong as ever.

The session explored:

🦶 How different prescription variables influence load, function and comfort

🦶 When to use single vs multiple variables

🦶 Unilateral vs symmetrical dosing - and what drives that clinical decision

🦶 How material combinations can work together to achieve overall treatment goals

The students brought some fantastic questions, especially around choosing between variables that appear to target similar regions, and how to combine modifications effectively within a patient‑centred management strategy.

A huge thank you to Jonathan Jaimingal, Programme Director for Podiatry, for having us - it’s always inspiring to see future clinicians building confidence in orthotic design, material science and practical prescription principles.

If you're interested in deep diving into prescription variables, we have a three-part course designed just for you:

Tonight at 7pm we’re focusing on one of the most overlooked parts of screening - structural assessment.

How deformity changes load.
How load affects tissue.
How subtle biomechanical changes increase ulcer risk long before breakdown occurs.

If you’re screening patients with diabetes and want to move beyond a tick-box approach, this session will help you connect what you see clinically to what actually happens at tissue level.

You can join us this evening - or register and access the recording for 90 days.

Furthermore - over the next two weeks we’ll also deep dive into neurological and vascular assessments, giving you a complete, evidence-informed framework for advanced diabetic foot screening.

Start with tonight, or commit to the full series and strengthen your screening from every angle.

Diabetic foot ulceration is often preceded by progressive changes in skin hydration, barrier function, and callus formation.

In this free Algeos Academy webinar, Michelle Weddell explores how diabetes affects skin physiology - from autonomic neuropathy and anhidrosis to pre-ulcerative callus - and what early, practical intervention looks like in clinic.

We’ll cover current guidance, emollient selection, urea concentrations, and debridement decision-making, followed by live Q&A with Gareth Hicks from Dermatonics who has a wealth of knowledge in diabetic foot care.

24 February 2026
7pm-8:30pm
Free to attend

All registered attendees will receive an exclusive Dermatonics discount following the session.

Strengthen your preventative approach to diabetic skin health.

There’s something powerful about watching clinical reasoning click into place.

Last week, Algeos Academy delivered an in-person session to Level 2 students as part of their orthotics module at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh. It was a hands-on, touch-and-feel workshop exploring insoles, materials and prescription variables - not just what they are, but how and why they’re used in practice.

Students explored orthotic variables, material science and real clinical applications, forming the foundation for confident, evidence-informed prescribing. Over the next eight weeks, they’ll build on this through case studies and practical lab sessions focused on manufacturing, finishing and refining devices.

A highlight? The bio-psycho-social evaluator model. The colour, look, feel and texture of a device matter. Function is critical - but so is presentation.

If you’re a lecturer, educator, or programme lead looking to enhance your orthotics teaching with practical, industry-led sessions, get in touch with Algeos Academy to explore partnership opportunities.

Ulceration rarely begins at the surface. It develops through progressive biomechanical change - altered gait, shifting load distribution, intrinsic muscle loss, and reduced joint mobility - often long before tissue breakdown becomes visible.

Advanced Diabetes Screening: Structural is a 90-minute session designed to strengthen your ability to recognise structural risk factors, interpret their clinical significance and apply evidence-informed screening with greater confidence.

You will develop a clearer understanding of how structural and functional changes secondary to diabetes influence pressure and ulceration risk - and how to assess them systematically in practice.

Delivered by Louise Fisher, Advanced MSK Podiatrist and Clinical Educator.
