Why Choose a Podiatrist?

​

At Stride Podiatry, your care is delivered by a fully qualified HCPC-registered Podiatrist.

​

A podiatrist is a university-trained healthcare professional with a BSc (Hons) degree in Podiatry. The title is legally protected and regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), ensuring high standards of training, safety and ongoing professional development.

​

Podiatrists are qualified to diagnose and treat complex foot and lower limb conditions, perform nail surgery, manage high-risk patients (including those with diabetes), and assess biomechanics and orthotic needs.

​

Membership of the Royal College of Podiatry reflects a commitment to clinical excellence, ethical practice and continual learning.

Foot Health Practitioners

 

Foot Health Practitioners can provide routine foot care to low risk patients, they are not degree-trained, not members of the Royal College of Podiatry, and not Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) regulated.

​

The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is a UK statutory regulator that protects the public by keeping a register of health and care professionals who meet specific standards for training, professional skills, behaviour, and health.

​When you choose Stride Podiatry, you’re choosing regulated, evidence-based care you can trust.
