Hello everyone, i was wondering if anyone had any information about working as a Podiatrist/Podiatric Surgeon in Saudi Arabia? I would like to know if UK qualifications are transferable and what the rate of pay is like.
Thanks
Paul.

Hi Paul,
I am a UK orthotist and have been working in Riyadh for the last 2 years. There is a real shortage of good footcare in KSA and plenty of scope for podiatry. We have one american podiatrist in our hospital who specialises in Diabetic care. He is the only foreign podiatrist i know of in KSA although i am sure there are others. I am about to go on holiday for a couple of weeks but when i return i can speak to him for you.
Regards,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

That would be great thank you. Would be good to get some first hand experience of a Podiatrist working in Saudi Arabia.

Is most of the foot care diabetes related?

Thanks again,

Paul.

Hi Paul:

I am a Saudi podiatric surgeon, trained in the USA and working in Jeddah for the last 7 years, its been very rewarding. Only a few European and Australian trained podiatrists are working here and also doing well.

I am looking for a podiatrist to join my practice, let me know if you are interested.
