We are a member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) formerly the Health Professions Council, who assume responsibility for the regulation of Chiropodists & Podiatrists (alongside a number of other Health and Care Professions).
Podiatry and Chiropody are protected titles.
HCPC standards play a key role in ensuring public protection by making sure that Chiropodists & Podiatrists in England have the competency, knowledge, values and behaviour expected of them by members of the public and employers alike.
The HCPC is responsible for setting standards, approving and monitoring education and training programmes.
At Complete FootCare we wholeheartedly believe in the values of the HCPC.
