 Dr. Helen Rees and Stephanie Playford attended the recent Wounds Canada Conference in London, ON. Their representation of the CFPM was invaluable, particularly in the efforts to empower colleagues and multidisciplinary healthcare providers to enhance their practice in caring for individuals with foot wounds or those at risk of developing them.
During the conference, they participated in a roundtable discussion focused on the Canadian DFU Policy Roundtable: Moving Recommendations to Action, where their insights were instrumental in advancing policy improvements in Canada.
 Additionally, the CFPM had a booth at the conference, showcasing the importance of podiatry/chiropody within the multidisciplinary landscape. It was fantastic to see our presence acknowledged and appreciated.
Thank you, Dr. Rees and Playford, for your hard work and dedication in making a positive impact at this important event.
We would also like to express our appreciation and gratitude to Mariam Botros (CEO), for the invitation to attend this conference and discuss opportunities with Wounds Canada. It was a pleasure to engage in such insightful discussions, and we are excited about the potential for collaboration moving forward.
Thank you once again, and we look forward to building on these conversations.

In the field of wound care, CAMPs—also referred to as cellular and tissue-based products—have shown improved healing rates and cost-effective care when used as a part of evidence-based clinical algorithms. Recently the 7 Medicare Administrative Contractors proposed an update to Local Coverage Determinations governing the application of CAMPs in diabetic foot ulcer and venous leg ulcer management.

Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries in athletes and the general public. Incomplete recovery and inadequate restoring of function due to lack of appropriate rehabilitation can lead to chronic ankle instability (CAI). Loss of passive ligamentous stability and deficits in neuromuscular control and strength reduce the ability to protect the joint from sudden perturbation.
