Podiatry Undergraduate and Post Graduate Apprenticeship Course

NHS England Workforce, Training and Education Directorate (NHSE WTE) has worked in partnership with Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust, Health and Care Innovations Limited, the University of Plymouth Podiatry team and South West NHS Workforce, Training and Education Directorate (SW NHS WTE) , to develop a new elearning programme to support podiatrists providing training for apprenticeship roles at foundation, intermediate and graduate level. The elearning is a result of a targeted action taken by the South West regional podiatry workforce action group.

The new elearning sessions have been created for podiatry staff teaching, mentoring, clinically training and educating apprentices within the workforce. The video based content takes users step by step through the skills that they will learn during the pre registration apprenticeship courses. This elearning resource is also relevant for undergraduate students.

The aim is to support consistent clinical education and competency evaluation for the learners and educators. Topics include:

• clinical procedures
• surgery and conditions
• equipment
• governance
• protocols.
