Podiatry assistants
This page describes the role of podiatry assistant, and the entry requirements for the role.
The job
Podiatry assistants, are also known as chiropody or foot-care assistants and are responsible for giving the foot care and treatment under the supervision of a registered podiatrist. Work includes cutting toenails and applying dressings and some clerical work such as booking appointments. Staff working in more senior podiatry support roles often work at assistant practitioner level, and will undertake more advanced work, such as giving footwear advice and other duties.
Patients include elderly people, those with foot injuries, those having nail surgery or laser treatment and people with diabetes who are prone to circulation or sensation problems in their feet.
Podiatry assistants as part of their training and development study a variety of subjects such as skin and nail pathology, microbiology, material medica, inflammation, anatomy, circulation, podiatric conditions and nail operations.
