Podiatry SA

WELCOME to the South Australian Podiatry Association's (APodA SA) website. A resource initiative from the professional body representing the podiatry profession in South Australia.

Podiatrists are university educated health care professionals specialising in the prevention, diagnoses, treatment and rehabilitation of disorders, medical and surgical of the feet and lower limbs. Besides general foot care, the podiatrist is qualified to treat specific foot and lower limb conditions such as sporting injuries, structural problems, diabetic and arthritic conditions, children, the elderly and skin and nail conditions such as ingrown toenails. The podiatrist can also assist you with selecting appropriate footwear and training and exercise programs.

Members of the Australian Podiatry Association are active members within the podiatric community. They participate

in a wide variety of continuing professional development activities and have access to a range of resources to support their professional careers and build on their clinical expertise and high standards.

Podiatrists work in a range of settings including private practice, GP Clinics, community health centres, hospitals, sports clinics and aged care facilities. If you are looking for a podiatrist in your area please visit the online search facility "findapodiatrist" by clicking on the blue box on the right of this screen.

The Association is a not-for-profit member service organisation set up to support the podiatry profession in South Australia.

OUR SPONSORS

Thank you to the following major sponsors for 2011 (click on the logos's to access their website)

Dissection Workshop

"The dissection workshop is probably the best continuing education session that i have ever done (in 28 years). The surgical podiatrists were patient and generous with their knowledge

and should be commended on their professionalism and broad knowledge. It was a great opportunity to bring together the anatomy and the "condition". At work today I felt I was

already looking at things differently and that my knowledge, confidence and diagnostic skills

had jumped up a notch. I encourage all podiatrists to do this , especially those of us who have been out for a few years." SA Podiatrist Hayley Sutcliffe

Mentoring Program

"The mentoring program has been a great resource since I graduated. The online discussion board has been most helpful in discussing different treatment options and perspectives

on tricky cases. And reading other people’s posts has been very interesting as well! The meetings are great for networking and meeting your mentors. All in all, a really positive experience." SA New Graudate Micaela Hollis
