Stephanie Playford and Helen Rees proudly represented the Canadian Federation of Podiatric Medicine at the Royal College of Podiatry Conference in Glasgow, UK. Their presence highlighted not only Canada’s ongoing commitment to the profession, but also the undeniable value of international collaboration in advancing podiatric practice worldwide.

Maintaining strong global relationships is essential as podiatry continues to evolve. By connecting with colleagues from around the world, we open the door to shared learning, innovation, and fresh perspectives that help elevate patient care in every community. These connections allow us to grow as practitioners, challenge ourselves with new ideas, and bring home knowledge that strengthens our national standards.

Their participation serves as an inspiring reminder of what can be achieved when professionals unite across borders with a common purpose. It showcases the importance of podiatry on the global stage and reinforces our collective dedication to improving foot health, mobility, and quality of life.

Together, we continue to move the profession forward—collaboratively, confidently, and with a shared commitment to excellence.
