The Johnston's Podiatry Team

All members of the Johnston team are HCPC registered this means they have all undertaken a full time three-year training at a School of Podiatry. These are usually attached to a hospital or university. We are government regulated, fully insured and professional standards are enforced, giving you total confidence. The NHS will only employ HCPC reg. Podiatrists to work in the NHS hospitals and clinics. As part of our legal obligation we keep up to date with continual personal development (CPD) attending courses and conferences throughout the year. This is monitored by HCPC as a random audit every two years. All of our associates have many years’ experience and each associate brings with them their own field of speciality.
