Services of podiatrists 'are in demand'
Tuesday 11th May 2010
The services of people with podiatry jobs are in demand among Britons, it has been claimed.
According to foot expert Lorraine Jones, as many as four in five adults will need the services of such medical professionals at some stage in their lives, the Independent reports.
Without such interventions, some individuals would not be able to stay mobile and independent, she added.
Clients can be of all ages, Ms Jones noted, stating that work may include vascular and neurological assessment for a middle-aged person who has developed foot problems, or wound management for an older client who has an ulcer.
"But there again, the case may be about minor surgery for a teenager with an in-growing toenail," she added.
Ms Jones is a member of the council at the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, which is a professional body and trade union and claims to represent around 10,000 practitioners and students.
