It is a delight to be able to welcome everyone to the 16th Bath Biomechanics Symposium, which our research group is relaunching after a pause due to the pandemic. The symposium will happen this Friday (6th of September) and registrations are still open for anyone who would like to attend, register using the following link:

The first session of this meeting will be on the biomechanics of the lower limb and there will be several presentations which are focused on the ankle. I am particularly excited that we have a keynote talk from Prof Claire Brockett which explores her work optimising surgical repair of osteochondral defects in the ankle. In the same session I will be presenting on the Open Ankle Models work, and my former undergraduate student Dani Lipscombe will present their demonstration model of the ankle for education and injury prevention. So it is a great opportunity to showcase our current work and foster collaborations.
The theme for the symposium this year is Optimising outcomes with maximum efficiency, which highlights the challenge in ensuring innovative treatments are effective while also being achievable and this will form the basis for the panel discussion at the end of the day.
The symposium will be held for the first time in the centre of the city, at the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution (BRLSI). The BRLSI is a charity which looks after over 150,000 scientific and historical objects and it has been hosting lectures, exhibitions and public events in Bath for over 200 years. So it is an ideal location for our scientific discussion and debate, and I very much look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting.
