Are you interested about the foot care in the United Kingdom? Then there are quite a lot of pathways to being employed. Podiatrists and chiropodists now need a University based degree before they can get registered by the Health Professions Council. Most of the work done by podiatrists is not actually limited to podiatrists, so there is growing group of practitioners called foot health practitioners that have come into existence to circumvent the legal requirement to be Health Professions Council registered. All these people have to do is not call themselves a podiatrist or chiropodist. Another option is to get training as a podiatry assistant and more are going down this pathway. Podiatry in the UK is a blend of different sub-professions.
