Evidence, quality improvement and resources for the healthcare system.
Contributing to evidence-based foot and ankle care
The ACPS encourages research and critical evaluation of clinical practice. This page will bring together peer-reviewed research, College publications, evidence reviews, policy papers and government submissions.
Documents will be arranged by topic so readers can locate current information without searching through long lists.
Measuring outcomes to support improvement
Clinical audit helps practitioners review treatment patterns, outcomes and complications and identify opportunities to improve care.
This page will explain the College’s audit program and provide access to published reports, with their dates, methods and limitations clearly identified.
A clear distinction between training and registration
The College supports accredited specialist education and the ongoing professional development of its members.
This page will explain the respective roles of the College, the Podiatry Accreditation Committee, the Podiatry Board of Australia and Ahpra, together with the principles of professional competence and continuing education.
Qualifications, credentialing and clinical governance
Hospitals and credentialing committees can access information about specialist training, professional registration, scope of practice, hospital privileges, CPD and clinical audit.
The material is intended to assist informed credentialing decisions under the policies of each healthcare facility.
Supporting informed policy and equitable care
The ACPS contributes to discussions about professional recognition, specialist education, healthcare access and appropriate funding arrangements.
College statements, relevant legislative information and submissions will be available in one place, separate from general patient information.
