Demand for Registered Podiatry services nationwide has increased by nearly 20 per cent in the past 3 years.
The recent New Statesman article below explains changes in recent demand and supply for Podiatric Specialists.

HCPC registered Podiatrists are the most qualified but of less than only 20,000 Professionals nationally we are doing a mammoth job keeping the UK Feet mobile and well. So please be patient with your local providers and take time to plan and prepare and keep your Podiatry visits.

It can be one of the most demanding and rewarding of Healthcare roles. It is not glamorous. But I am privileged to have treated some of my clients for over 25 years now and been qualified and working some 32 Foot years.

Delighted to be back with my fellow Podiatrists and Chiropodists in beautiful Harrogate for 3 days. After 30 years in practice, it is still so worthwhile attending these conferences for up to date recommendations and to bring new methods and tools back to The Foot Place so that clients continue to get the best service possible.
