SPECIALIST PODIATRY UPDATE
June 27TH & 28TH 2009 - AUCKLAND
The Specialist Podiatry Update is a two day event with a mixture of lectures and workshops. Presenters for the event include Prof Keith Rome, Dr Joshua Burns, Dr Angela Evans, Dr Karl Landorf, Daryl Phillips and Phillip Hartshorne. Each presenter has their own unique backgrounds to allow you to gain clinically relevant information. Topics covered include biomechanics of the diabetic foot, paediatric flat foot, foot orthoses and postural stability, heel pain, neurology of the paediatric foot and orthoses for injury prevention. These topics will be complimented by workshops focused on the area of offloading the diabetic foot, assessing the paediatric foot, imaging updates (including x-ray, CT, MRI), foot measures to master neurology, hip assessment and implications for foot orthoses. There will also be case studies and round-table discussions to consolidate ideas and concepts.
If you go to the website http://www.keystone-education.com/events.php you will see that there is an event in Sydney 20th June 2009 focusing on Paediatrics and one in Auckland for a 2 day event on the 27th & 28th June 2009 with a variety of specialist topics.
Although we have some speakers "doubling up" at the 2 events the actual lectures and topics will not.
It is interesting that we have had a lot of interest from Australian pods heading across the ditch for the Auckland event. The same thing happens the other way with our Paeds event last year in Sydney attracting delegates from NZ!
It seems a good line-up and the cost of it is very reasonable in comparison to the upcoming Oz conference so maybe this has something to do with the amount heading over! Plus it's a nice little holiday if you can afford the time off.
Phillip in your original post you have the dates down as 27th/ 28th August - may be worth correcting if your able to
Thank you.
Probably should have re-read my original post more closely after Jos tried to alert me.
Will try and edit but just to clarify that the events are in June 2009.

Phil
I am sorry Greg but the answer to your question is, no.
The 2 day event is quite heavily integrated between the days with a 50/50 mix of lectures and workshops.
We are indeed wary that people, for financial reasons and other commitment conflicts, may find it difficult to attend the two days. But because we have so much content to cover we found it difficult to split the days as you requested.
We have had a great response from delegates at our events in the past with the way we combine the lectures and workshops and we hope this event will be a success as well!
Leigh, the short answer is I would hope so, but we will get this one finished first, before we look too far into the future!
We are always planning our next events so please check the website for our upcoming events regularly: http://www.keystone-education.com
