Surgery
surgeryMost podiatrists who are members of the SCP are qualified to undertake nail and soft tissue surgery and can administer local anaesthetics. More complicated procedures are done by a Podiatric Surgeon.

Podiatric Surgery is the surgical treatment of the foot and its associated structures. It is carried out by a Podiatric Surgeon, usually as a day case procedure and often under local anaesthetic. Podiatric Surgery is available in many NHS trusts as well as in private hospitals and clinics. A Podiatric Surgeon manages bone, joint and soft tissue disorders. There are presently 46 NHS podiatric surgery units led by Consultant Podiatric Surgeons. Podiatric surgeons also work in many private hospitals. Consultant Podiatric Surgeons are recognised by nearly all the insurance providers including BUPA, AXA PPP, Norwich Union and Standard Life.
