What is podiatry and is it different to chiropody?
Podiatry is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders of the foot and lower limb. Chiropody is the same thing – podiatry is a more modern term that’s become widely used in the UK.
To become a podiatrist, a three-year podiatric medicine degree course must be undertaken in order to gain registration with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council). This regulatory body protects the public by ensuring health and care professionals (including podiatrists) meet the standards set for professional skills, training, behaviour and health.
