Welcome to the website of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists
The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists is the Professional Body and Trade Union for registered podiatrists. Membership is restricted to those qualified for registration and the Society represents around 10,000 private practitioners, NHS podiatrists and students.
Podiatry or podiatric medicine is a field of healthcare devoted to the study and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and the knee, leg and hip (collectively known as the lower extremity).
Foot disorders affect most of the general population at some time in their lives.
A podiatrist is a podiatric professional, a person devoted to the study and medical treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle and lower extremity.
The website includes patient information on common foot problems and provides a free list of private practice podiatrists in the United Kingdom.
