Podiatrist or Chiropodist ?
A frequently asked question is what is the difference between a podiatrist and a chiropodist. The simple answer is that podiatry is a more up to date version of chiropody. A podiatrist can do everything a chiropodist can, and more.
Be sure to check that your podiatrist is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). The HCPC will also confirm that your practitioner is qualified to perform local anaesthesia (essential if carrying out nail surgery) and that they are able to supply prescription only medicine.
For further information about the HCPC and to check my registration, please see the Web Links section below.
Your podiatrist has extensive medical knowledge, particularly regarding conditions such as diabetes, stroke and rheumatoid arthritis, all of which may have an effect on your feet. They will be able to give you invaluable advice regarding your health and that of your feet.
In order to maintain their registration with the HCPC, all podiatrists must be able to demonstrate that they are continually learning in order to keep their skills and knowledge up to date with current standards. You can check my registration status by clicking on the link below. I am also a member of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists.

Price and Treatments (All £31)
Nail Treatment
Many people are unable to reach their own toenails due to difficulty bending or arthritic hands. Or perhaps you just find your nails unmanageable due to thickening or a fungal infection. You may be experiencing pain from ingrown nails and if this is the case this treatment will help.
You may find this service useful if you suffer from diabetes, as you may have been advised not to cut your nails yourself but find it difficult to access a nail cutting service through the NHS.
Skin Treatment e.g corns, hard skin (callus)
Corns and callus are very common and can be very sore. This treatment involves the removal of corns and hard skin to give you increased comfort.
Combined Nail and Skin Treatment
This treatment is for people who require their nails to be cut and also the removal of corns and/or callus.
Verrucae Treatment - no longer available as treatment is not usually effective.
Home Visits - no longer available.
Foot Treatment Supplies (prices on request)
I am also able to supply a range of foot creams.
