Duchess of Cornwall leads centenary celebrations for podiatry group
Monday 20th February 2012
Camilla Parker Bowles joined celebrations in honour of the centenary of Britain's first podiatry organisation.
The Duchess of Cornwall was presented with a sculpture of Her Royal Highness by The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists to mark 100 years of the group's existence.
She commended the organisation's hard work for the past century and said that it does a fantastic job at "keeping us all on the road" and that "without chiropodists and podiatrists we wouldn't have a leg to stand on".
The society, formed in 1912, came to being in 1945 after five English chiropody organisations joined together to create the British branch of the European body.
Stuart Baird, chairman of the organisation, said: "We are extremely proud of the work and advancements made by the podiatry profession over the last 100 years. We now have consultant podiatrists employed in the NHS in fields of podiatric medicine and podiatric surgery."
