Dr. Emma King

Emma is an associate professor in head and neck surgery at the University of Southampton. Her PhD and specialist training were completed in the UK before travelling to Toronto, Canada, for two years for fellowship training in ablative and reconstructive head and neck surgery. Her time is now divided between research in head and neck cancer at the University of Southampton and clinical commitments at University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust as a consultant head and neck surgeon.

Prof. Catherine Bowen

Catherine leads the Foot and Ankle Research programme and is the training lead for the National Institute of Health Research Applied Research Collaboration Wessex (NIHR ARC Wessex). Catherine’s research focuses on musculoskeletal lower limb, foot and ankle pathology with an emphasis on imaging techniques and optimising models of foot-health care. Catherine became the first podiatrist to receive a Chartered Scientist Award after identifying that ultrasound imaging could be used by podiatrists, and has since pioneered the clinical uptake of this technique around the world.

“Research opportunities are not only for everyone, but need everyone. It’s the only way research can progress and improve patient care.”
