🤝 Building bridges through the Professional Podiatry Partnership

Following the great success of the Global Podiatry Summit, we're excited to take the next step: launching the Professional Podiatry Partnership – a network connecting corporate partners and the international podiatry community for the benefit of podiatry and patients with foot and ankle problems worldwide.

Last week, we held our initial meeting to shape what this network can become — with President Pauline Wilson and Secretary General Lea Stentoft Berling, alongside Paddy Markey and Gareth Hicks, who have kindly agreed to facilitate the network going forward.

Together, we're creating new opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and global impact in foot and ankle health. 🌍👣

This is just the beginning.

Curious to collaborate? We'd love to hear from you. Contact Lea Stentoft Berling at [email protected] 📩

As FIP Treasurer, he is passionate about strengthening the profession globally by supporting sustainable growth, good governance, and greater international recognition of podiatry. 🌍

👋 Meet Lea Stentoft Berling – FIP’s Secretary General from Denmark! 🇩🇰

Lea is one of a kind on the FIP Board: she’s not a podiatrist herself, but that’s exactly what makes her perspective so valuable. She came to podiatry through leadership – and was one of the driving forces behind the Global Podiatry Summit 2026 in Copenhagen, gathering podiatrists from over 36 countries. 🌍

Off the court, she’s a high-level squash player and proud owner of an extensive Rolling Stones vinyl collection. 🎾🎵

👋 Meet Lee Rogers – FIP’s newly elected President Elect from the USA! 🇺🇸

Lee chose podiatry because of its hands-on nature and the real difference it makes in people’s lives. Limb preservation, continuity of care, trust – that’s what drives him.

His hidden talent? Cutting out the noise and staying focused on what actually matters. A skill every leader could use. 🎯

👋 Meet Pauline Wilson – FIP's newly elected President from Ireland! 🇮🇪

Pauline always knew she wanted to work in healthcare. Podiatry gave her the perfect combination: helping people and making a real difference in their lives.

Her goal as President? To make FIP a truly global community of professionals who are passionate about foot health – and committed to supporting each other across borders.

And when she's not leading the way for podiatry worldwide, you'll find her behind a camera – photographing puffins. Yes, really. 🐦📸

It’s hard to believe that it has already been one month since the Global Podiatry Summit 2026 brought our global community together. 🌍👣

The memories are still fresh - inspiring lectures, meaningful conversations, new connections, and so many unforgettable moments shared with wonderful people from around the world.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the Summit such a special experience. 💙

And now, we’re already looking ahead to the next adventure…

📍 Dublin 2028 🇮🇪✨

Known for its warm hospitality, lively atmosphere, rich history, and iconic streets filled with music and culture, Dublin will be an incredible host city for our next gathering.

Some familiar faces from Copenhagen? 🤗

It was nice to reconnect with our valued CAP Partner, Hanne Kvalheim and Katerina Vicen, to reflect on the success of the Global Podiatry Summit 2026 in Copenhagen — and to turn our focus forward.

Dublin 2028 is on the horizon. 🌍🤩

We are working to confirm dates soon, and we couldn’t be more excited to build on what we achieved together in Copenhagen — and make the next Global Podiatry Summit even bigger, even bolder, and even more impactful.

Because together — with strong partnerships, shared ambition, and the right people in the room — we will keep the world on its feet. 🦶

Strong partnerships. Stronger outcomes 🤲

This week, our Secretary General Lea Stentoft Berling and Immediate Past President Daniel Aharon Weisz are at EWMA • European Wound Management Association 2026 in Bremen — a vital arena for podiatry’s role in wound management.

Being present here isn’t just about visibility. It’s about reinforcing why podiatry belongs at the table when the global wound care agenda is being shaped. 🦶🏼👩🏼‍⚕️

A new chapter of leadership begins 💫

At the Annual General Meeting in Copenhagen, we are proud to welcome Pauline Wilson as our new President, and Lee C. Rogers as President-Elect — both familiar faces stepping into new roles, bringing with them years of commited leadership to FIP and the global podiatry community.

We are equally pleased that Brendan Bennett continues as Treasurer and Lea Stentoft Berling continues as Secretary General — their experience and dedication gives a strong foundation for the work ahead.

We also extend our deepest gratitude to Daniel Aharon Weisz, who steps into the role of Immediate Past President — a reflection of his continued dedication to FIP and the profession.

After an extraordinary Global Podiatry Summit 2026 in Copenhagen, the next chapter begins with momentum behind it.

Together, we keep the world on its feet 💚 🦶
