As part of the RCPod’s work, the Education team is responsible for accrediting pre-registration courses leading to podiatry degrees registered by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and overseeing the academic component of post-registration training, such as podiatric surgery.

They also contribute to governance processes to ensure high-quality and relevant CPD content.
Applicants must meet at least one of the following criteria:
We especially welcome applications from those with teaching and assessment experience.
The role of Accreditation Reviewer is diverse. Successful applicants will participate in various quality assurance activities over a 12-month period, including visits to one of the 16 podiatry schools across the UK and Ireland, interviews with students, and detailed review of relevant information. Reviewers will assist the Education Team in evaluating the quality of podiatry education and CPD opportunities. Attendance at face-to-face meetings is required.
We offer an honorarium of £370 per day, which includes reading time. Team leaders will receive an additional £50 per quality activity. Reasonable expenses will also be reimbursed.
