Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Chiropodist and a Foot Health Practitioner?
In 2003, State Registered and Private Chiropodists were merged under the Health Professions Council and the title “Chiropodist” became protected. From that date, undertaking and qualifying the same training resulted in becoming a Foot Health Practitioner. My training through the SMAE Institute afforded me the same knowledge of foot conditions as a Chiropodist, treating many of the common presentations, but prevents me from being able to state that I perform Chiropody or that I am a Chiropodist. When previously running a joint practice with Sarah Bowyer, the treatment of patients by both of us was the same. The hundreds of current, satisfied patients that use myself for their footcare needs, I think speaks for itself.
This is the personal, but honest view of the owner only.
