Mr Dawe visited the USA in February 2019. He visited the world renowned Dr J Chris Coetzee for a surgical visitation at the Egan Orthopaedic Centre, part of Twin Cities Orthopaedics and joined with the Minnesota Vikings. He then was one of the first UK surgeons to visit the Arthrex facility in Naples Florida in order to spend time in their new surgical development centre. Thanks to Dr Coetzee and to Arthrex for a most informative and useful trip.

A small team of researchers including Mr Dawe have won first prize for their research presentation at the 2018 British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Meeting. The research used a zero-gravity treadmill (a treadmill which blows air at your legs and can simulate you weighing less, all the way to being completely weight-less) in order to demonstrate the benefits of weight-loss in foot and arthritis. Patients in the study found a reduction of around 40% of their pain during the test. This has provided further evidence of the benefits of weight loss in improving foot and ankle pain.

Mr Dawe has been invited to speak to all comers at the Nuffield Chichester on the 30th October. His talk will cover many conditions affecting the foot and ankle such as painful bunions, painful toes, heel pain and the myriad of different treatments available for foot and ankle pain.
