Podiatry sits at the crucial intersection of mobility, chronic disease management, and public health. This programme equips students to address the complex foot and ankle pathologies that often limit an individual’s independence. By blending rigorous clinical science with a compassionate, patient-centred approach, the course prepares graduates to function as autonomous healthcare professionals capable of treating diverse populations, from athletes with sports injuries to patients with diabetes or complex systemic conditions.

Students benefit from a curriculum that emphasises social justice and health inequalities, ensuring that future practitioners are ready to tackle disparities in foot health. The programme is distinguished by:

• Consistent Clinical Exposure: Students accrue 1,000 hours of work-based learning in NHS clinics, hospitals, and private practice settings.
• Interprofessional Collaboration: Learning alongside nursing, paramedic, and radiography students to foster the team-based skills essential for modern healthcare.
• Specialised Facilities: Training within the dedicated InterCity Place clinical skills suites, which simulate real-world practice environments.
