Shirley Park Podiatry & Chiropody Practice

Based in Croydon, we are an independent Podiatry and Chiropody practice and all Podiatrists are Members of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists and are HPC registered. The practice has been Accredited by the Society of Chiropodists & Podiatrists. This means that a set standard must be achieved by the Practice.

The practice was established in 1976 by Cathy Richardson, and has grown in size gradually since that time. We cover Croydon, Beckenham, West Wickham, Shirley, Selsdon and South Norwood. We are a busy practice focused on advising and treating a wide range of conditions. We take pride in our Podiatry treatment, and want to make your visit a pleasant experience.

The surgery is modern, comfortable and well-equipped. We offer a friendly service at all times, and the surgery always has a receptionist on duty to look after you.

The practice has registered with the Data Protection Act. The contents of your medical records will be kept strictly confidential; and your privacy will be respected at all times.

Contamination control is essential to the safety of our patients. The practice follows recommended guidelines with regard to the sterilisation of instruments.

The term 'Podiatrist' is a relatively new word and title which replaces the word 'Chiropodist'. The title more accurately describes our profession. However both titles are still in common use, and are now protected in law to safeguard the public.

Your Chiropodist/Podiatrist will have undertaken a full-time three year professional training, which ended with Membership of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists and State Registration on the Council for Professions supplementary to Medicine. The latter organisation was replaced with the Health Professions Council.

State Registered Chiropodist as a title has been replaced with HPC registered. It is a requirement of the HPC that all Podiatrists undertake annual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to maintain their registration.

Initially a full medical history will be taken from you. This can have a bearing on what is wrong with your feet. All foot problems are dealt with, including:
  • Routine care of nails, and all other nail conditions.
  • Callouses and corns
  • Verrucae treatment.
  • Advice on fungal and bacterial infections of the skin.
  • Advanced nail treatments and surgery.
  • Local anaesthesia
  • Advice on foot pain.
  • Management for bunions.
  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain.
  • Diabetic foot management .
We offer a service whereby you can book a full diabetic neurological and vascular assessment . The report will subsequently be sent to your G.P.

As specialists, we are accustomed to helping and treating patients who are often in great pain. We have the added advantage of being able to call upon each other for a second opinion where required.

A full domiciliary (home-visiting) service is also available.
