For HCPC/CORU-registered podiatrists working at an advanced scope, developing competence in minor skin surgery is a key step in expanding clinical capability and autonomy.

The Institute of Podiatrists’ Podiatric Minor Skin & Nail Surgery course provides a regulator-aligned, evidence-based pathway to safely integrate procedures such as electrosurgery, cryosurgery, curettage and nail surgery into practice.

Delivered through blended learning and cadaveric-based practical training, the programme emphasises clinical governance, risk management, and safe implementation within non-CQC regulated activities.

This is a focused opportunity to enhance surgical skillsets, reduce referral dependency, and strengthen patient care pathways.
