Podiatry Arena


Thanks again for all the support of Podiatry Arena - no other Podiatry forum comes close to the level of activity we have. There is still a lot of work to do, so keep watching for more development and enhancement of the content. There are now 568 members (100 more than last month!) - the site gets several thousand visitors a day .... now if we can only turn them into registered members and posters (any ideas are welcome).

There is now a specific registered member forum, that the threads in it are only visible to those who are registered and logged in. In time there will be more content added here (ideas are welcome).

A new moderator has been added to give the Podiatry Employment Forum a boost, so please add any jobs or topics you have.
