Podiatrists are experts in foot and ankle health keeping people of all ages active. Choosing to become a podiatrist will give you a broad scope of practice with a scientific approach to diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of people with foot problems. A podiatry degree can launch a dynamic career and is a springboard to specialising in other areas of the profession such as sports medicine, injection therapy, independent prescribing, clinical research and podiatric surgery.* The course has been designed, and continues to be developed, by expert educationalists, service-users and carers.* Work-based learning is an integral part of the course and you spend 1,000 hours in clinical practice during your three years.* Opportunities to attend vascular ward rounds at Derriford Hospital.* Observe an independent practitioner working in the private sector.* A Ministry of Defence placement is available for high achievers.* Practitioners with specialist roles are invited to lecture regularly in years 2 and 3.* Train and practice your professional healthcare skills in an inspiring purpose-built environment, InterCity Place.We feel that our course strongly benefits from having the views of our service-users in the development of new strategies and module design. This is achieved through our school forum where our service-users are invited to contribute to curriculum development and decision-making.
