Podiatry is a profession with strong investment in private businesses. Approximately 65 per cent of the podiatry profession in the UK is involved in delivering clinical services as private businesses outside the NHS remit. Resourcing of clinics with consumables, ancillary services (such as electronic records systems) and the sales and supply of products associated with foot health relies on strategic collaborations with industry and trade. To prepare future graduates for work in both the UK NHS and private sectors, the pre-registration podiatry programme embeds a business module in the final year of study. Expert businesses contribute to the teaching of this module bringing expertise from the private sector and accountants and business professionals to the learning environment. In turn, students have opportunities for specialist placements with such companies as well as research and enterprise engagement activities. As future innovators of healthcare, our students consider market forces alongside the needs of service users, with a view to maintaining a contemporary and effective natural first stop profession for foot care. matters to people living with and beyond cancer and is used to develop and test effective solutions to improve people’s lives.
