What we do

The Children’s Podiatry Special Advisory Group (CPSAG) is the national advisory group to the Royal College of Podiatry in the Podiatric Management of Children and Adolescents in the UK undertaken by registered health professionals and students participating in the study of Health Sciences at undergraduate or postgraduate level.

The Paediatric Podiatry Clinical Framework

Podiatrists have a wide range of skills to successfully manage children experiencing foot and lower limb conditions

However, the breadth of knowledge required to be an experienced practitioner in paediatric podiatry requires a progressive learning journey. It can take many years to experience the variety of presentations that can present.

Created by the Paediatric Podiatry Special Advisory Group (PSAG), the Paediatric Podiatry Clinical Framework proposes a framework that incorporates learning and development milestones for the paediatric podiatrist.

  • The milestones are based on levels of supervision, mentorship, intervention, accountability and leadership.
  • The study areas are pertinent to paediatric podiatry and the depth at which the study areas are explored is dependent on the milestone.
