The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is the regulator for health and care professionals in the UK. Its main purpose is to protect the public. The HCPC is responsible for standards of proficiency and conduct for the professions it regulates, including chiropody and podiatry. It does this by setting and maintaining standards, ensuring they are met and that each health professional abides by HCPC regulations, codes of ethics, and conduct.

Absolutely. We abide by current legislation, which affects chiropody and podiatry clinical practice, and accepted professional clinical standards. All equipment and instruments are decontaminated to a high standard, minimising the risk of cross-infection. Re-usable instruments are autoclaved as part of the sterilization process, this inactivates all bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.
No. In 2006, the words chiropody and podiatry became legally protected. Only individuals registered with the Health and Care Professions Council may call themselves a chiropodist or podiatrist. Registration is subject to stringent terms of renewal. To maintain standards, the HCPC keeps a register of health and care professionals who meet HCPC standards for training, professional skills, behaviour, and health. Always check that your chiropodist or podiatrist is registered with the HCPC.
