I would welcome the opportunity for professionals such as osteopaths, chiropractors, chiropodists, podiatrists and others to be able to prescribe under appropriate circumstances.
No information on the percentage of the population who have consulted a chiropodist or podiatrist is collected centrally.
We need more specialist diabetes nurses, dieticians and podiatrists.
In every other instance there is separation between the training of the chiropodist or podiatrist and the services given.
The other proposed council is for the health professions, to cover among others chiropodists and podiatrists.
I was only drawing attention to the breadth of my reply because the way that he phrased his introduction did relate to chiropodists and podiatrists.
Early referral to a multidisciplinary team involving specialist nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and podiatrists is recommended for best care.
Chiropodists and podiatrists who meet the council's standards for registration will be recognised as state registered.
