Why choose Podiatry as a profession?
Podiatry is a rewarding and caring profession, people will always need help keeping them on their feet. We proved we can survive a pandemic and podiatrists are in huge demand due to declining numbers.
Podiatrists are experts in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of foot and lower limb disorders, many of these caused by general health issues. You will use comprehensive assessment and diagnostic skills to develop patient care pathways for conditions which impact on a patient’s quality of life.
You will learn from a team of Podiatrists with over 70 years of experience and also gain experience in the NHS.
