What is Podiatry?
Podiatry, also known as Chiropody, is a branch of medicine regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Only HCPC-registered professionals are legally entitled to use the terms “Chiropody” or “Podiatry.” We are proud to have Chantelle, our HCPC-registered podiatrist, in clinic.
Qualified in 2021, Chantelle gained valuable experience working for the NHS in West Kent, treating complex patients and developing a passion for surgical procedures, including regular ingrown toenail removal. Much of her expertise lies in diabetic foot care and managing lower limb concerns, ensuring comprehensive support for those with specific health needs.
We welcome all clients to our clinic, where foot health is a priority. Healthy feet are essential for overall well-being, mobility, and comfort, and our professional team provides expert care in a safe and welcoming environment.
