Become a 'pod'
Podiatry is a brilliant career if you’re interested in science, biology, chemistry or medicine.
There are a number of ways in which you can train for a career in podiatry depending on your background, experience, skills and qualifications.
Whilst some train for a career in podiatry via the traditional undergraduate route at one of the 17 podiatry schools, many take up podiatry after careers in the armed forces or in professional sports. Others move across to podiatry from other allied health professions. We also have the increasingly popular apprenticeship route into the profession.

Podiatrists treat a wide range of conditions, from everyday foot pain to complex issues like sports injuries, diabetes complications and surgical needs. This means patients get expert care – and the opportunity to talk to podiatrists that specialise in many different areas.
