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