How to Become a Prosthetist/Orthotist
The traditional route of becoming a Prosthetist/Orthotist is to study a undergraduate degree, currently available at Strathclyde University or the University of Salford. However a new Masters Level course allowing HCPC registration is now also available at Keele University.
In the next few years further options are becoming available including an apprenticeship Scheme which is being run by Derby University
