ROYAL COLLEGE OF PODIATRY
A balanced mix of timely updates and deeper, more reflective pieces — thoughtful, accessible and grounded in practice.
What we publish
We publish content that reflects the breadth of modern podiatry, including:
• news and developments affecting practice and policy
• long-form features exploring the profession and its future
• interviews with clinicians, researchers and leaders
• practical content to support day-to-day work
Our approach
The New Podiatrist is not a research journal. It does not publish original academic papers. Instead, it focuses on context, reflection and interpretation, helping members understand what developments mean for practice and patient care.
We are interested in thoughtful, well-crafted pieces that draw on experience, evidence and wider perspectives to enrich how podiatrists understand their work today.
Who it's for
The New Podiatrist is written for:
• practising podiatrists
• students and early-career professionals
• those working in clinical, academic and leadership roles
Whether you are working in the NHS, independent practice, education or research, the aim is to offer something that is relevant, useful and engaging.
Editorial tone
Our editorial approach is thoughtful, accessible and grounded in practice. We aim to inform, challenge and support the profession — without jargon, and without losing sight of the realities of day-to-day clinical work
The New Podiatrist is shaped by practising podiatrists, researchers, and clinical educators. Every editor brings direct clinical experience to the content they commission and produce.
Our editors are drawn from NHS community and acute services, university research departments, and specialist clinical centres across the UK and internationally. They include consultant podiatrists, clinical academics, policy specialists, and early-career practitioners — ensuring that The New Podiatrist speaks to the full breadth of the profession, not just a single corner of it.
Editorial independence is fundamental to what we do. Content decisions are made by the editorial team alone, free from commercial or institutional pressure. Where editors have potential conflicts of interest, these are declared openly. Our readers can trust that what appears in The New Podiatrist reflects clinical evidence and professional judgement — nothing else.
