Biomechanical insights in lower limb lipoedema: a podiatry perspective
August 7 @ 6:30 pm – 7:15 pm
Hosted by Fran Campbell
Lead in Podiatry & Biomechanics
Fran is unique, as she is a podiatrist with a sports medicine background focusing on how biomechanics impacts wound healing, oedema (swelling), and tissue viability in the lower limb. Fran has worked in a variety of areas within podiatric practice for over 15 years, including the National Health Service within multidisciplinary and combined rheumatology, paediatric, physiotherapy, and high-risk diabetic wound clinics. She has worked also in private practice where she was the CQC Manager, Surgical Services Manager and Lead in Gait and Biomechanics at The London Podiatry Centre.
Fran has an MSc in Clinical Biomechanics from the University of Brighton in and has published research in the Journal of Foot and Ankle Research and in other peer reviewed journals. She is currently the vice Chair on the British Lymphology Society Scientific Committee and an Associate Editor for the Journal of Foot and Ankle Research. Fran’s research interests are in improving biomechanical management for wound, lipoedema and lymphoedema patients through a multi-disciplinary approach involving nursing and the allied health professions as this is an area of care that is under researched.
