As practitioners we never stop learning, it is an important part of our professional development and our commitment to providing patients with the best care possible. The centre covers all areas of professional development. It uses state of the art Internet technology to allow practitioners to continue their professional development wherever in the world they are based. It also contains a reading room, discussion forums and an events search facility. It will soon be a requirement of State Registration that practitioners will have to undertake a number of CPD activities each year.
Some podiatrists go on to develop an interest in surgery and train as podiatric surgeons.
Podiatric surgeons surgically manage bone and joint disorders within the foot. The Society also has a surgical training programme which podiatrists can only do after graduation and have to undergo rigorous training taking a number of years.
