    Hello! Mainly to the Swedish!
    The reason for saying this is I was wondering whether I can quiz the brains of some Swedish podiatrists. I have done some reading around but I want to establish current answers.
    Firstly, are there many podiatry jobs in Sweden is there demand for a foot professional who isn't a doctor?
    Question number 2, how easy is it to set up a practise in this country if it isn't my native?
    Final question (promise), are there any Swedish clinics / podiatrists who could get in touch with myself on here or via email?
    Many thanks, happy thoughts of Sweden!

  2. There is basicallg no podiatry in Sweden

    there was a course which was up and running for 5 years , since then there has been less and less people working as a poditrist.

    the name is not offically recognised by the government run medial sector, but that does not mean you can not work.

    there are 2 real ways to do work as a foot therapist ( old type of chiropodist from maybe 30 years ago, 6 month to 2years training, extra courses )

    Here you would work with diabetic footcare in hospital departments.

    You could also open a private practice as I have, but it is a lot of hard work, there is no registration. The students during their uni days , started a podiatry organisation but you do not need to be a member, not even sure if they are active to be honest.

    some people have started working in some of the orthopaedic engineering work shops, doing insoles but there tends to be a 1 size fits all approach there.

    is it possible yes sure , would I recommend it , nope not after the last 8 years.


    shoot off an email if you want some more info.


    but I don't have a job offer :D
