Although autonomous clinicians, podiatrists are key members of the multidisciplinary team, collaborating with consultants, GPs, nurses and other allied health professionals.
The NHS Highland Podiatry service is needs-led, supporting, educating and enabling self-management where appropriate. Our goal is to help our patients regain independence, alleviate pain, and enhance their quality of life.
This service does not undertake personal foot care such as nail care, minor callus reduction or dry skin management.
The title Podiatrist is legally protected and to use this title the person must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). The HCPC is the regulatory body for all Allied Health Professionals. Visit the HCPC website to find out more and to check the registration of any practitioner.
