Hi,
If you do the BSc course in podiatry (the one at uni) you will be able to work for the NHS. A foot health course does not allow you to work for the state as you are not deemed suitably qualified. The degree course does take it much further and there is more clinic/practical training than the foot health course. Sometimes if you train to do foot health you also have to do additional courses for scalpel work, diabetics etc so it can work out pretty expensive...x

Hi,
Do not put off doing a Podiatry course with children.
I started my full time podiatry degree with a 4 yr old and finished my course with another child!
Its not easy but is certainly do-able.
There are some unis who offer the degree part-time but I dont think you get a bursary. I know Salford offer the part-time option.
No-one other than a qualified podiatrist is allowed to use a scalpel on a patient as another poster said.

Any degree questions please ask
