How do I know if my podiatrist is qualified?

Podiatry and chiropody are protected titles in law and only those who are registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC) are legally entitled to use them. This offers greater protection to the public with the assurance that practitioners have met the standards set by the HPC, such as assessing patients’ feet and explaining a diagnosis before the commencement of any treatment; have continually maintained their knowledge through Continual Professional Development and able to practice lawfully, safely and effectively.

All practitioners at the clinic are trained to diploma/degree level, HPC registered and members of the country’s leading professional body, the Society of Chiropodists & Podiatrists.

“Podiatrists are highly skilled health professionals who have been trained to prevent, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate abnormal conditions of the feet and lower limbs. They also prevent and correct deformity, keep people mobile and active, relieve pain and treat infections”. (Society of Chiropodist & Podiatrist 2009).

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No, it is not necessary for your GP to refer you to the clinic, although they may suggest you seek treatment from a chiropodist/podiatrist if you have a problem with your feet.
