Campaigns and Lobby: The aim of the Feet For Life Campaign is to raise awareness among general public and government that good foot health is an essential component to quality of life and podiatry is a key element of preventative medicine.

The failure to invest adequately in podiatry services runs the risk of defeating objectives to prevent illness, reduce health inequalities and promote healthy and active life among the population.
Lobby packs with details of what to say and how to influence MPs were available for member podiatrists. Read more on our current and past Campaigns
