If you’ve ever felt a bit unsure when it comes to prescribing, modifying or fitting chairside orthoses, let us help.

Our hands-on orthoses training day is back by popular demand, with a 100% satisfaction rate to back it up!

Join us at Algeos HQ in Liverpool for a one-day, CPD-accredited workshop that blends essential theory with practical, hands-on learning. You’ll be working directly with trusted brands, materials, and equipment, so everything you learn can be applied straight back in clinic.

Led by Advanced MSK Podiatrist Louise Fisher, the day will leave you knowing:

• How to assess and apply biomechanics in real cases
• When to prescribe and what to prescribe for common MSK conditions
• How to confidently modify orthoses chairside
• How to fit, adjust and troubleshoot in practice
• How to build more effective, patient-centred treatment plans

You’ll also get a pre-course webinar, CPD certificate, lunch, refreshments, parking, and a take-home goodie bag.

Ideal for podiatrists, physios, FHPs, chiropractors and students looking to build confidence in orthotic therapy.

Saturday 4th July 2026
Registration from 8:30, workshop from 9:00-17:00

Did you feel prepared to go into practice when graduating university?

There’s a growing recognition across the profession that we need to better prepare students for the realities of orthotic practice. Research continues to highlight this gap (Leach et al, 2024), and it was great to be back with Cardiff Metropolitan University last week for a second session - building that bridge between education and clinical application.

This session focused on Level 6 students as they move closer to life in practice, exploring custom foot orthoses in real depth. From clinical reasoning and workflows through to scanning, digital technology and manufacturing, it was all about connecting theory to what actually happens in-clinic.

There was a real curiosity around 3D printing, digital workflows, and how these fit into modern podiatry. Bringing this into case-based discussions made it feel tangible and relevant, not just theoretical.

A big thank you to everyone involved, and to the students for getting stuck in!

Pressure is one of the biggest drivers of diabetic foot ulceration - and effective offloading is key to both prevention and healing.

Join us for The Science of Diabetic Foot Offloading - a practical webinar designed to help you better understand how, when, and why to offload in clinical practice.

You’ll learn:
• how pressure contributes to tissue breakdown
• which offloading methods work (and when to use them)
• how to improve outcomes with smarter material and device choices

Whether you’re prescribing orthoses, managing ulcers, or working in the care sector, this session will give you practical insight you can apply straight away to improve patient outcomes.

Early detection saves limbs - and lives.

Clinicians play a critical role in spotting structural, vascular, and neurological changes before they become ulcers or amputations.

Join our Advanced Diabetic Foot Screening: Structural Assessment webinar and strengthen your skills in identifying high‑risk feet earlier and more confidently.

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 🙌

26/02/2026

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.
