IAN GRIFFITHS: RUNNING RE-TRAINING FOR MEDIAL TIBIAL STRESS SYNDROME
Ian Griffiths is one of the UK’s most influential podiatrist, excellently leveraging social media to promote both the podiatric profession and his own research. He’s also innovatively connecting podiatrists and other lower limb professionals around the world through his weekly podiatry live streams, PodChatLive, he co-hosts with Craig Payne.
We were delighted Ian travelled to Sligo to present at the Firefly Summit – it wasn’t a hard sell. Once we had arranged for him to play 18 holes on one of the world’s finest links golf courses, his bags were packed for Sligo.

ABOUT THE FIREFLY SUMMIT 2017
When we designed the Firefly Summit 2017 we wanted to create a podiatric event like no other. We invited 11 female and 10 male speakers to Sligo. Selected for their expertise and hands-on experience, these top clinicians collaborated on topics to deliver world-class podiatric presentations communicating their ‘clinical gold’ to the Summit delegates.
It wasn’t all podiatric talk. To keep things interesting, all 200 delegates and speakers immersed themselves in the beauty of the wilds of Ireland’s north west coast, taking part in surfing, hiking, stand up paddle-boarding and seaweed baths – WOW!
Don’t miss out!
