At the Royal College of Podiatry, we pride ourselves on supporting our members in all aspects of their professional life. As an organisation, we strive to promote podiatry as a leader in healthcare. Our members come from all areas of practice, from the NHS and independent healthcare sectors to research and academia. They can join at any stage in their career, from student right the way through to retirement and beyond.

During your time as a member of the College, we ask that you be the best representative of the profession you can be, setting an example for your colleagues and your patients. In the past, we asked our members to adhere to a code of conduct. From January 2021, we are asking our members instead to abide by our Professional Standards. These are set out in the document below.
