HCPC registration – http://www.hcpc-uk.org

The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is the government body that regulates all qualified health care professionals and by doing so ensures public safety.

Being registered with the HCPC means that your Podiatrist/Chiropodist has undergone the proper training, which includes a 3 year degree or diploma in Podiatry.  They must also undergo continuing professional development (CPD) to maintain their registration and qualifications.

Any practitioner referring to themselves as a “Foot Health Professional” or any term other than “Podiatrist” or “Chiropodist” has NOT completed the required training, is not obliged to keep their skills up, and is, as such, unregulated.
