Caring for our feet
Caring for our feet is important for staying active, healthy and independent. But many of us only think about our feet when something goes wrong. This lack of awareness is not just a personal issue but a wider social one, which affects how the profession of podiatry is seen and valued.
To support this, we are excited to be collaborating with the leadership team at the Royal College of Podiatry on two important projects:
The principles for podiatry – A clear guide to improve and set high standards for the profession.
A podiatry career mapping tool – A new resource for NHSE to help people explore podiatry career paths in research, leadership, clinical work and education.
We know that good design can make a real difference by not only raising awareness but also by bringing clarity to a profession whose voice is not as loud as more visible as other less useful but ‘more exciting’ careers.
