General Information

Overview

This unit will encompass a theoretical component, a practical component and a clinical component. The theoretical and practical components will concentrate on the prescription and construction of foot orthoses, where you will produce a range of orthotic devices. The clinical component will focus on further developing your ability to take a holistic approach to assess, diagnose and manage a range of patients, with more of a focus on skin and nail pathologies. You will present clinical cases, explaining the underlying pathophysiology and show your clinical reasoning with respect to assessment, diagnosis and management. As a matter of continuous development, you will be expected to progress your professional podiatric clinical skills.
