1 Share of the podiatrist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the homeopath profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A podiatrist role treats 9 of its required skills as things a homeopath already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • accept own accountability
  • apply context specific clinical competences
  • comply with legislation related to health care
  • comply with quality standards related to healthcare practice
  • develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship
  • ensure safety of healthcare users

What stands in the way is 19 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A podiatrist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a homeopath background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held record healthcare users' billing information information skills
  • already held process medical insurance claims information skills
  • already held refer healthcare users assisting and caring
  • already held develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held human physiology health and welfare
  • already held use foreign languages in patient care communication, collaboration and creativity

All 14 carried skills, including the 9 the podiatrist role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 29 missing skills fall into 11 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
