When people think of podiatry, they often imagine treatments for nails, corns, or foot pain. Yet the deeper story is about behaviour change in podiatry — the daily actions that keep feet healthy and patients independent.

The Heart of Podiatry

Every appointment involves behaviour change: footwear decisions, daily foot checks, diabetes routines, ulcer prevention strategies. These small, repeated choices can be the difference between freedom and limitation.

This is why I believe behaviour change is not a side-note — it’s the core of podiatric care.

A Prelude

Over the past year, I realised my clinical work and my academic journey both pointed to one conclusion: podiatry is as much about guiding choices as it is about clinical skills.

That realisation — along with the timely encouragement of my tutors — led me to create something new, a project designed to make behaviour-change science practical for students and clinicians alike.
