Before we kick off our brand new series of 🦶 A–Z of Podiatry🦶& supporting our support for various public health campaigns, we first wanted to share a question that we are often asked (only second to, “why feet?!”) and that is:

“What’s the difference between a Chiropodist, Podiatrist and a Foot Health Practitioner?”

It can be confusing to know who does what when it comes to foot care — so here’s a simple guide:

Podiatrist / Chiropodist
These two titles mean the same thing. In the UK, the term chiropodist was more common in the past, but today podiatrist is the modern name. Both are fully trained and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). This means they can assess, diagnose and treat a wide range of foot problems, from common issues like corns and ingrown nails to more complex conditions such as sports injuries, diabetic foot complications and biomechanical problems.

Foot Health Practitioner (FHP)
Foot Health Practitioners provide general foot care such as cutting toenails, reducing thickened nails, and helping with corns and calluses. They are not regulated by the HCPC, so their training and scope of practice may vary. They do not diagnose or treat complex conditions, but they can help keep feet comfortable and healthy, and often work alongside podiatrists.

🐵 A podiatrist can keep your feet healthy so you stay active, comfortable and independent.

We just love a good news story, and we get as equally excited as our patients when we see such positive outcomes!

This fabulous patient of ours had many painful verruca on their foot for over 10 years, despite trying lots of treatments.

After three sessions of Swift, they have now gone! 🙌🏼

If you would like to discuss treatment options for stubborn verrucas, please give us a call on 01202 920 576 to book an assessment appointment, or take a look at our website.

The clinic is closed today.
I have been fortunate to be able to attend this exciting clinical update on all things lower limb wound care, diabetes and peripheral vascular management. Should be an excellent day!

Feeling a little appreciated. What a lovely ode to receive at the end of a busy day!
Thank you you lovely gentleman, you know who you are:)

"I GO TO ALEX"

Getting older had created a fear
One that increased with every year
With legs growing longer it would appear
My feet it seemed were not quite as near
‘cos my arms didn’t grow at the same rate
A solution was needed the pain to abate
So it’s off to see Alex now that I go
She lovingly treats my every toe
I cannot praise her skills more highly
When I leave her I’m all happy and smiley.

An integral part of being an HCPC registered Podiatrist is continuous professional development (CPD). We have to be able to demonstrate that we keep up to date with not only Podiatric clinical issues but lots of other important standards. So yesterday I spent the day completing my update for Mandatory training. This included many subjects such as The Mental Health Act, Infection and Control, Safeguarding, Equality and Diversity, The Data Protection Act to name a few. We also covered the very important Basic life support and anaphylaxis management. On the back of this I have today purchased a Defibrillator for the clinic. It's something that I hope will never need to be used, but will be a welcomed tool for reassurance that we have this to hand should an event ever occur.

Han is our lovely adhoc receptionist, who covers our fabulous Jackie’s holiday and generally helps me on at the odd time when needed. She’s our little super pocket rocket. Today, she completed her first half marathon in Brighton in support of the incredible charity MacMillan. We are so so proud of her. She’s fortunate that I am her proud Mumma bear and will be giving her a much deserved foot massage later.

I had just the cutest little visitor to the clinic at the end of the afternoon session. Of Course little Oscar has the perfect feet. He enjoyed the clinic chair and posing for the camera. Fingers crossed a future pod in the making!!

We are so totally delighted to be celebrating the successful treatment of a very stubborn verruca using SWIFT microwave therapy. The poor owner reported that she had the verruca for over 10 years which had become very painful due to being very ragged, she would often catch the skin. She had tried so many various therapies to no avail. She visited the clinic last January and has since had 3 SWIFT treatments. To say she is happy is an understatement!! Her husband sent this lovely email today.

"We would like to thank you for ###'s treatment carried out over 3 visits with a 100% success. originally concerned the treatment might not work we are well pleased with the results. We will be recommending your practice to all our friends thank you once again- regards"

If you are having difficulty resolving a stubborn verruca. Contact Purbeck Podiatry for advise. Our experienced clinicians will help you in the right direction for the appropriate treatment. Please note that to date no treatment is 100% successful in the treatment of verruca's.

Marie has worked alongside Alex since 2022 and has recently extended her hours. Now working every Tuesday and Wednesday.

Both Alex and Marie have seen so so many foot conditions over the years. No issue presented is a shock or judge, we welcome any feet and importantly very much the person attached to them!!

We are a very friendly team, based in Lytchett Minster opposite the Bakers Arms pub.

This beastly in growing toenail has been troublesome, painful and debilitating to its owner for a good year. They were delighted to have it finally treated today. The patient was an utter champion and sailed through the procedure at the lovely age of 13. They’re looking forward to a pain free summer.
