Professor Wesley Vernon is Head of Podiatry and Research Lead for Sheffield PCT and a visiting Professor at Staffordshire University.

Wesley's lecture at our Annual General Meeting and Conference 2010 at Nottingham was titled "Forensic Podiatry" and was presented on the Friday. His lecture will focus on the possibility of forensic podiatry practice, which has been discussed for almost 90 years in podiatric literature. However it is only in the last 15 years that the speciality has finally become formally established. Forensic Podiatry covers a number of areas of practice including identification from podiatry records, bare footprint identification, footwear identification and forensic gait analysis.
