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.
There is also an apprenticeship Scheme which is being run by Derby University.
