Podiatry in Malta: CPCM regulation with surgical scope

Council for the Professions Complementary to Medicine (CPCM) · Medical Council of Malta · Healthcare Standards Directorate (HCSD)

Podiatry in Malta is regulated under the Health Care Professions Act (Chapter 464 of the Laws of Malta). The Council for the Professions Complementary to Medicine (CPCM) maintains the State Registered Podiatrist register and grants the S.R.Pod designation. The CPCM Podiatry Benchmark Document (18 January 2024) sets the 1650-hour supervised clinical practice benchmark across six areas — general podiatry, local anaesthesia, surgery, biomechanics, foot orthoses fabrication, and the diabetic foot — with at least 100 hours in each. Surgical podiatry is permitted under the CPCM scope of practice, and sterilisation rigour is central to that scope. Practising podiatry without state registration is prohibited. CPCM may bring disciplinary proceedings; sanctions range from caution to removal from the register and loss of the S.R.Pod designation.
