Routine Exams
All patients will receive a thorough foot examination prior to treatment. Diabetic patients will also receive an annual diabetic foot check. Patients that require a bio-mechanical assessment for orthotics will undergo a much more detailed examination of their lower limbs. Patients who require minor surgery will be fully assessed for their suitability for a local anaesthetic.

What is the difference between a Podiatrist/Chiropodist and a Foot Health Practitioner?
"Podiatrist" and "Chiropodist" are regulated terms and are protected titles by law
This means that anyone calling themselves a podiatrist or a chiropodist must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.
Podiatry is a constantly evolving profession, the extensive training given to students over the 3 or 4 years of their full time course and the continuing education after graduation enable Podiatrists to treat a vast array of foot and lower limb problems. Along with the most obvious treatments for corns and hard skin, specialities exist within the profession for almost any lower limb problem.
"Foot Health Practitioner" is a totally unregulated term
The title "Foot Health Practitioner" is not protected in law which effectively means anyone can use it regardless of any training levels.
You can find advertisements offering training that consists of only a few days practical tuition and the rest is done by correspondence. After completing the course which often lasts less than 6 months students will call themselves "Fully trained and qualified Foot Health Practitioners". They advertise the same medical treatments as those offered by Podiatrist in places like Yellow Pages, and offer chiropody services; this is actually an offence and may incur a heavy fine. Clearly a Foot Health Practitioner course is not to be confused with the minimum 3 years of full time training needed to become a Podiatrist.
