25.01.2022 Part 2 of @peninsulahealth #podiatry team checking in. Stay safe #legends

25.01.2022 Live in Australia and have diabetes? How about your parent or someone you care for? Consider asking them to be part of this valuable research. Our team is setting up the research agenda and need your input, it's easy to participate - click the link below for more details.

24.01.2022 Struggling to communicate in masks. Loads of tips here to help with non-verbal messages.

23.01.2022 "Cinderella is proof that a new pair of shoes can change your life." If people wonder why people who work with kids hearts don't break with the challenges, it's because of kids and young people like this. So much hard work. Great work to all the health professionals, especially the physios and orthotists who didn't let her give up!

22.01.2022 Today is World Cerebral Palsy Day. This gives the opportunities to share and celebrate stories to raise awareness of the 17 million people living with Cerebral Palsy. Have you ever struggled to recommend adaptive clothing or footwear for your patient/client? Head along to Everyhuman. Here is one of the stories by the partner of one of the team.

21.01.2022 Its still going on. If youre a #podiatry educator or research or student, this is a year like no other. Look out for each other like the team at @UniSA_paeds and colleagues. Not throwing the #podiatrychallenge out to @latrobepodiatry or any other course now... #choosepodiatry #checkin #beajoiner #askforhelp

21.01.2022 It’s Developmental Coordination Awareness (DCD) week. We surveyed Australian #podiatrists in 2018, 70% had no or little awareness of this condition in children. Over the coming days, I’ll share some key facts, how it presents & how you can support a young person with DCD. Questions or on my story!

20.01.2022 Looking at online conference options this year? Look no further - i-FAB is online and at about $150AUD, great value. Check out the approved abstracts here (particularly the paeds!) https://www.i-fab2021.com/call-for-papers/approved-papers/

20.01.2022 Are you the parent of a children under the age of 6, NOT a health professional, NOT work in the footwear industry, and interested in research? We're keen to have two parents as part of our research team to help guide the questions in a project about kid's footwear. If you live in Australia or the UK, please message me for more information and how you can be part. #research #consumerparticipation #footwear #shoes #podiatry #physiotherapy #pediatrics #paediatrics

20.01.2022 10 years ago, I got my first BIG publication. It put me on my research journey and the "ITW map". I developed a tool to help kids really get assessed for their toe walking. I was super proud of this and still consider it one of my biggest research wins. I recently joined forces with some amazing colleagues, and told the stories of the parents who are going through their complex journey. It's a regret I didn't do it sooner. Now it's been done, I'm so happy we have used our re...search platform for amplifying the challenge of navigating the diagnosis and treatment for idiopathic toe walking. If you work with kids, sit down, have a read and put yourself in the parent seat. I promise it will change how you think! Full article here: https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/10/9/e035965

19.01.2022 This is so true right now.

Get your triage tools out for the next 5 weeks, new update from the Department of Health and Human Services: Statement in the link that we can only to provide services that prevent a SIGNIFICANT change/deterioration in functional independence necessitating escalation of care (e.g. a requirement for specialist input/review, an increase in care needs and/or alternate accommodation, avoiding a hospital admission or emergency department presentation).' https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au//Permitted%20Work%20Premises%2

18.01.2022 Huge congratulations and welcome to the profession to all the new podiatrists! What a year it’s been for you, and I’m grateful you hung in there. Loving seeing all the grad photos!!

18.01.2022 Video 2 of 3 Tips for connecting (especially while in lockdown) can be as easy as connecting with your uni colleagues, you liked some of them then, you probably will still now. Ask a parenting question, ask a clinical question, use it to help reach out and check in on others. Every new mum is at greater risk now for PND right now, lets look out for each other.... Thanks @meldrew88 @reneeluczek @gobyrnes @maryellen_redmayne and more!! See more

Highlights:... - Soft soled footwear modified kids gait compared to barefoot. - Less differences in running between footwear & barefoot Gait and Posture, 2020, Vol 81 https://www.sciencedirect.com///abs/pii/S0966636220304938

17.01.2022 Another week down. Thanks again to all those at the front line doing their thing. Hope you also get some down time too!

17.01.2022 When a bunch of legends all check in from around the country and the world, conversations happen. Keep talking, keep supporting each other. Try not to let it this finish with one conversation, keep the momentum. Thanks @unkle.pod, James, @sparc_esp @morgz.mack, @_thepod & @frankstonfootclinic ... #podiatry #podiatrychallenge #podiatrist

16.01.2022 Under the Permitted Work Premises for the purposes of the Restricted Activity Directions (Restricted Areas) instructions, podiatrists in a private practice se...tting meet the criteria for an essential service and may continue to practice with some restrictions. In order to restrict non-essential movement across the state podiatrists can only provide services that prevent a significant change/deterioration in functional independence necessitating escalation of care (e.g. a requirement for specialist input/review, an increase in care needs and/or alternate accommodation, avoiding a hospital admission or emergency department presentation). This means that routine services are not permitted and care must only be provided if the absence of, or delay of this care, would result in a significant change/deterioration in the patient/clients functional independence necessitating escalation of care as described above. A patient will not require a medical referral for you to provide care, but you must critically consider if a treatment is essential for the patient/client in the next 6 week period. There are no restrictions to telehealth and we strongly encourage this where at all possible so that patients/clients can continue to seek treatment. The APodA is working to develop a treatment grid/decision tree tool to be available today to assist you in making these important decisions. If you are an APodA member and need any assistance or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact our member services team on (03) 9416 3111 You can read more on the government restrictions here: https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/business-industry-stage-4-restr

16.01.2022 On behalf of the PAIGE team: @annacouchie, Stephanie, Hylton & Terry, thank you to Australian #podiatrists who donated their valuable time over the past 4 years. Thanks to the Australian Podiatry Education and Research Foundation & @australianpodiatry for funding. Last survey closed. Now for analysis & reporting!!

14.01.2022 Pods who are parents are also challenged with school at home right now. If you are awesome at other things than podiatry, maybe ask if you can help, (especially making videos)! Thanks @little.big.feet, Olivia K and kids and @ranidars Keep them coming or make your own and tag us all in! #podiatrychallenge #checkin

12.01.2022 This is the best!! Want to be a joiner, film it, message it, Ill do the rest (not like Im stuck at home or anything ) make your own, BUT, connect with your colleagues in the meantime. Thanks Jess, Hayley, Joe and The good shoe shop team!

12.01.2022 #podiatrchallenge has been thrown to unis! Podiatry students & staff are having the most different educational challenge ever. The Team at CQU Mahlia, Julie & Angela decided to check in with each other for extra support. I suspect there was a coded message for me!... Ok other unis...tag, youre it!

12.01.2022 Want to hear about a simple outcome measure you can use in practice to measure podiatry impact? Tune in!

11.01.2022 Hot off the press from @PublicHealthEngland and @RoyalOsteoSoc. A rapid review for Muscle and bone strengthening activities for children and young people (5 to 18 years). #Podiatrists, you can play a role in advocating for kids bone health, and here's how!! Link in bio: https://buff.ly/3nuDrCn

11.01.2022 TImely on #RUOK day to remind us to be proactive in our own health, to ask for help, but also receive help when someone offers.

10.01.2022 Interesting study showing that there are subtle differences in pathology of toe walking gait. Gait laboratory assessment is costly and hard to access for many. Needs to be better support for kids to access or we run the risk of throw a heap of treatments that can be costly and ineffectual.

10.01.2022 Fabulous retweets from @drjarodhalldpt & @corkinetic! I regularly find myself on the childs hill and insecure canyon. Growing up is so much fun though. What a ride!! It doesnt have to be painful, but must be honest and critical and kind.

10.01.2022 Do you have a child under the age of 6 and purchase their footwear? We want to make classifying, recommending and purchasing footwear for young children clearer.

10.01.2022 @PeninsulaHealth #podiatry team spent the last few days checking in on each other. We cant see each other as much as usual right now, due to being in our little site bubbles, or on furlough. But, team work makes the dream work so on #tuesdayswewearteal Part 1!

09.01.2022 Guess what, here we are, talking about toe walking in 3 minutes (then with a bit of banter). Links below for all the research.

05.01.2022 Attention podiatrists in Australia- we need to hear from you! Please complete and have your say in the largest in-depth podiatry survey undertaken. If you part...icipated in 2019 and your work situation hasnt changed, this will be a nice short survey for you. If you didnt complete last year, we still really need your help to understand the podiatry workforce. There are prizes for participation including 10x $100 CPD vouchers provided by the APODA.

05.01.2022 If youre a PhD student, hang in there. Everything is making us question the why right now. Remember why you started the journey, write it down, put it over your study space, look at it each time you are questioning.

05.01.2022 2020 summed up in one photo. This was the year no one expected and will never be forgotten. The year we closed our private clinic, reopened and closed it again. My worst grant year ever. My highest publication year ever.... My hardest parenting year ever. And...the year I returned to a full time #podiatry clinical role for 6 weeks, supporting @peninsulahealth podiatry department’s COVID response, providing care for people who have high risk feet. I have the absolute privilege of knowing some of these people for over 10 years, working beside in the past, taught, mentored and still provide research supervision for. I have so much admiration for what they all do every day. Our community has amazing support for their foot health because of them all and they’re all assets to the profession. #choosepodiatry #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #studypodiatry #podiatrist

05.01.2022 So proud of our defence force, our community, our hospital and basketball stadium partnership in reducing numbers on the Peninsula. We can’t wait to see our kids back in the stadium and I’m sure the #YourADF can’t wait to be home with their families. For now, thank you!

03.01.2022 Video 3 of 3. Part 2: But, dont forget Dads are at risk for feeling extra isolated too. New babies are life-changing and being a new dad has all sorts of challenges, especially during stage 4 restrictions. Reach out if things are overwhelming but more of all, check in on your friends and colleagues right now. Thanks so much, @sjzammit @bjlerm @cheese_14 @cartra01 and co Now...where are those shoes again? #ruok #beyondblue #podiatry #podiatrychallenge #checkin #beyondblue

03.01.2022 So, why a grotty cup of coffee on a day where its: #ruok #womenshealthweek #worldsuicidepreventionday #liptember ... These things collide and its all a little overwhelming. As a health worker, a mum, a wife and in a looong lockdown. Its hard to look out for your people, and look after yourself. Today, I put my fav lipstick on to remind me how much I love being a woman, I took 10 min to do nothing, and drink my coffee in the quiet to recharge and prioritised drinking it while it was hot. I honestly answered my people who checked in, that I was kind of ok but finding it really hard so dealing with it through humour and finding joy through others. How are you looking after yourself?

03.01.2022 Parents with young children are especially finding it tricky during lockdown with limited external support. If youre a #podiatrist and currently balancing everything, we see you. We know its hard. Please talk to your health professional, friends or colleagues. Let us help you find the moments or joy or share the hard bits. Thanks to all of these #podiatrists & parents for checking in on each other. Thanks, @gabhickman, @kate_heslop1, Andy, @jgils_badassmc, @ashythomthom & Paige Video 1 of 3, prepare for massive cuteness.

02.01.2022 If you told me this time last year, Id be sewing masks for loved ones, compared to getting ready for an overseas conference, Id think youd lost your mind. Friends and family in Melbourne, weve got this! #StaySafeStayHome

02.01.2022 Happy Foot Health Week (from lockdown). So proud of our great profession.

02.01.2022 This is fantastic. Please consider if you need help or everything is overwhelming right now. This may be a good conversation starter.

01.01.2022 Current mood. Who wore it better. #tuesdayswewearteal ... #podiatry #lockdown #whoworeitbetter #podiatrist

01.01.2022 Joining the Ontario Society of Chiropodists 34th Annual Conference in a few hours? Me too!!... Here is one of the things I'll be talking through.
