Professional practice
Guidance and insight on the responsibilities of being a podiatrist. Covers CPD, regulation, career development and the realities of professional life.
A major change in how self-employed clinicians report income is now under way. From April 2026, thousands of podiatrists must report tax digitally every quarter, yet awareness remains low.
As the HCPC audit starts, we revisit what can count as CPD, how best to record it, how the process works and what registrants need to know.
Representatives from the Royal College of Podiatry and Bupa met in January to discuss fee structures, service coverage and operational processes affecting podiatrists recognised by the insurer.
