Every year, nearly 200,000 children are born with clubfoot. 90% of these children are in LMICS where treatment access is limited.
Today, on World Clubfoot Day, we spotlight this challenge & our commitment to change. Follow us on Twitter.

A little out of my comfort zone, but Laura and I presented our patient engagement survey at the Opcare Annual Scientific Meeting on Friday, amongst a day of really interesting speakers. Great to hear about the achievements of the wider team and meet new people! 🦵🦿

Fun fact about me: I use a ‘teenagers’ wheelchair. It’s tiny. 23inches wide.
If I’m struggling to get through these “gaps”, they are completely impassable for most wheelchair users and visually impaired people with dogs.
Pavements must be kept clear enough for pedestrians.
