Future Employment Opportunities

Hi

I am planning a career change but want to remain in the Healthcare field. My heart has fallen for Podiatry and I am planning to apply to Huddersfield or Salford uni. However my main worry is, how is the future of podiatry gonna be like in the next 4 or 5 years in terms of employment opportunities. I have developed to like the profession but at the same time I don't want to spend 3/4 years training and not find a job at the end. Is the future bright or should I consider other healthcare professions.

Thank in advance for your views.

 

There will always be work for Podiatrists and especially now as the NHS are cutting down on the patients they can see due to funding. The elderly will always want their feet properly looked after and it might not be part of the hi-tec work but it will be the bread and butter of your practise. A couple of years ago a manager in the NHS said he could see Podiatry going the same way as dentistry and most will be done privately.
