Pod Logic Mission Statement

Pod Logic was created by Elaine Broadbent Clinical Director and lead podiatrist at The Laurels Clinic Leeds.

Elaine was often contracted by undergraduate podiatrists and FHPs in or post-training.

She realized that there was a market for specific training aimed at both sectors and tailored not only to their roles but specific and unique to their learning requirements, knowledge and understanding.

With this vision on board, she contacted lecturer’s and speakers from the best of the industries, and now offers a bespoke CPD programme for the discerning health care professional who wishes to be the best they can possibly be.

Both the HCPCC and The College of Podiatry, as well as voluntary registers aimed at FHP’s, require a standard of competence and formal, regular, ongoing and evidence-based reflective CPD and clinical skill updates throughout your career. This is to assure the public that you are practicing safely, legally and effectively with evidence-based training and best practice.

Pod Logic can offer profession specific updates, and courses, together with short programmes delivered to suit individual learning objectives and topics, which can be mixed and matched for your professional portfolio, of which we can govern and recommend course-specific training and skill updates to ensure compliance and continued professional development.
