A step in the right direction: Delphi consensus on a UK and Australian paediatric podiatry curriculum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous research shows considerable variation in pre-registration paediatric podiatry curricula, and thus the clinical skills realised prior to graduation. Whilst pre-registration training is guided by regulatory bodies, these high level principles only refer briefly to standards in paediatric practice.
