    Hi, what area of podiatry are you thinking of or are you just looking at all areas in general? Either way there is a fair bit of evidence out there on the subject, I can email you some references if you like?

    Hi there, I have been in private practice for many years, and would be very interested in contributing towards a study into the improved quality of life for elderly podiatry patients.
