Podiatrists require knowledge and understanding of complex issues and specific needs related to the management of paediatric, physically-active and surgical patients relevant to podiatry practice. In this subject, students will be taught to further develop their skills in podiatric treatments, therapy, intervention techniques and patient management in paediatric patients, physically-active individuals and those requiring advanced foot and ankle surgery. Clinical reasoning and management skills when working with these patient groups will be explored, as will an understanding of evidence-based practice and enquiry-based learning as a number of complex clinical scenarios presenting to the podiatry clinic are investigated. Students will engage with online resources, published journal articles, case studies and face-to-face workshops, to acquire skills and knowledge.
