Join us for a special P&O Day UK webinar as we celebrate a profession built on collaboration and innovation. This year, we shine a spotlight on the role of research and education in raising awareness of prosthetics and orthotics, both within healthcare and beyond.

In this 90-minute session, three leading voices from the field—Dr. Alix Chadwell, Eileen Morrow, and Dr. Chantle Ostler—will each deliver a 15-minute talk exploring how research can shape the future of P&O practice, policy, and education.


Featured Talks

 

🔹 Evidence, Empowerment & Equity: Why P&O Must Lead our Research
Speaker: Eileen Morrow
This session will highlight the critical role orthotists and prosthetists play in delivering outcome-driven, preventative care—and why their voices must be included in research that shapes clinical policy. Drawing from her work in paediatric orthopaedics and national trials, Eileen offers a compelling case for embedding research in daily clinical practice and outlines how strong evidence can secure the future of the profession.

🔹 Research in Your Career
Speaker: Dr. Chantle Ostler
What does research in a P&O career really look like? This session explores a spectrum of possibilities—from using evidence in day-to-day practice to pursuing a clinical academic career. Chantle will share practical pathways, funding options, and insights into building a research-positive culture, including an example from the Portsmouth Enablement Centre.
