🎙️ What if one conference could transform the way you treat patients—and help you grow your practice?

In this special episode of the Passionate About Podiatry Podcast, Damian Murray meets the organisers and expert presenters behind the West Midlands Foot Health Conference 2026.

Now expanded into an exciting two-day event, this is a conference created for podiatrists, foot health practitioners, physiotherapists and healthcare professionals who want practical knowledge they can take back to clinic and use immediately.

✅ How prehabilitation could help prevent plantar fasciitis and other conditions
✅ Why diabetic foot screening and early intervention are so important
✅ What to expect from the hands-on Demystifying Dopplers workshop
✅ How chairside orthoses can improve comfort and potentially help patients avoid surgery

You’ll also hear about the interactive dermatology workshop focusing on conditions affecting darker skin, the excellent speaker programme and the 15 trade exhibition stands attending the event.

The Hidden Truth About Running a Healthcare Practice

Have you built the practice you always dreamed of… only to discover it now controls you? 🤔

In the opening chapters of Chaos Control, Damian Murray explores the reality many healthcare business owners experience but rarely talk about.

📈 Chapter One – The Honeymoon Period
Discover why the excitement of growth eventually gives way to complexity, overwhelm, and increasing demands on your time.

⚙️ Chapter Two – When the Machine Overtakes the Motor
Learn how the very business you created for freedom can begin to dictate your diary, consume your energy, and push you towards burnout.

🔓 Chapter Three – The Freedom Paradox
Explore why the independence that inspired you to start your own clinic may be the very thing keeping you trapped—and why true freedom comes from building systems that work without you.

If you're a podiatrist, physiotherapist, chiropractor, dentist, GP, or private healthcare practitioner, this audiobook may change the way you think about practice ownership forever.

✨ Because success shouldn't cost you your time, your health, or your freedom.
