I often get asked what the difference is between a Podiatrist/Chiropodist and a foot health practitioner. .

In the UK, Podiatrists and foot health practitioners (FHPs) both work with foot care, but there are important differences in their training, regulation, and scope of practice.

1. Podiatrist (also known as a Chiropodist)
✅ Training & Qualifications:
Must complete a BSc (Hons) Degree in Podiatry, usually 3-4 years including a minimum of a 1000 hours supervised clinical practice.

University education includes anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, biomechanics, and clinical practice.

✅ Regulation:
Statutory regulation by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Legally protected title – only HCPC-registered individuals can call themselves “Podiatrist” or “Chiropodist”.

✅ Scope of Practice:
Can diagnose and treat a wide range of foot and lower limb conditions.

May prescribe certain medications and administer local anaesthetics.

Can undertake minor surgeries.

Often work in NHS settings, private clinics, hospitals, or in sports medicine.

2. Foot Health Practitioner (FHP)
✅ Training & Qualifications:
Typically completes a shorter course or diploma (not a degree) including around a week of supervised training – usually through private training colleges.

Training focuses on routine foot care, such as nail cutting and corn/callus removal.

❌ Regulation:
Not statutorily regulated.

Not a protected title – anyone can legally call themselves an FHP.

May voluntarily register with professional bodies like the British Association of Foot Health Professionals (BAFHP) or Register for Foot Health Practitioners (RFHP).

✅ Scope of Practice:
Provide basic foot care, such as:

Nail trimming

Corn and callus removal

Can assist a Podiatrist in nail surgery, carry out basic foot care on low risk patients (not diabetic etc) and advise on foot hygiene.

❌Cannot diagnose complex conditions, treat medium or high risk patients, perform surgery, or prescribe medications.

If you need more specialised or medical foot care (e.g., diabetic foot assessments, persistent pain, infections, surgery), a Podiatrist is the appropriate professional.
