Press Release: Stars put their foot in it for podiatry clinic launch
Quote:
Personalities from the worlds of sport and politics will be immortalising their footprints in a 'walk of fame' on Thursday 20 September to launch Salford University's state-of-the-art new £0.75m podiatry clinic.
Salford City Reds prop-forward Philip Leuluai and Salford MP and Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Hazel Blears will be among the first celebrities to put their very different sized feet in moulds which will be displayed in the new University facilities for years to come.
Designed with the local community in mind, the clinic enables Salford podiatry students to continue their work with real patients under the supervision of fully qualified staff - within brand new hi-tech facilities. Services include gait analysis, nail surgery and children's foot care.
Guests at the launch will include Salford City Reds Coach Shaun McRae, and world record-breaking marathon runner Ron Hill, as well as other professionals from the health and sport industries, with the facilities being officially opened by Hazel Blears MP.
Head of the University's School of Health Care Professions, Sue Braid said: "With its visually stunning interior this new clinic will enable our students - including many of our international students - to maximise their skills while being supervised by our experienced staff. There will also be plenty of opportunities for collaborative research with our gait lab.
"The clinic will also serve as a valuable service to the community. It is already frequently visited by celebrities and sports personalities and we have links with Manchester City Football Club and Lancashire County Cricket Club. We intend to add to our collection of 'walk of fame' footprints over the coming months and years - they'll be an entertaining addition to our reception area."
Hazel said: "I am delighted to officially open the podiatry clinic at Salford University and I would like to congratulate everyone who has been involved.
"The state-of-the-art facilities will provide an excellent opportunity for students to gain new skills and I am very pleased indeed that it is operating for the benefit of the local community."
The University's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Michael Harloe said: "Within our new clinic we'll be continuing our work with partners from business, charitable bodies and the NHS to conduct cutting edge research to advance the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the lower limb. This is just part of the Faculty of Health & Social Care's work with the local community. I am delighted to welcome Hazel Blears and our distinguished guests to this official opening."
You are invited to attend the official opening of the University of Salford's new podiatry clinic in the Allerton Building, the Crescent, at 12.30pm on Thursday 20 September, where there will be photographic / filming opportunities.
