I had the pleasure of being invited as a guest speaker to the NI Foot & Ankle training day in Derry. It was a very well run 'whistle-stop tour' of foot and ankle pathology, with the majority of Foot & Ankle surgeons from NI contributing excellent lectures. There was a 'hands on workshop', lectures, clinical cases and plenty of time for questions and discussion. I gave lectures on Hallux Valgus and Talar fractures. Congrats to Mr John Wong who co-ordinated the teaching day.
