International Podiatry Day is an organisation of the International Federation of Podiatrists, the international not-for-profit association founded in 1947 to advance podiatry worldwide through education, advocacy, and strategic alliances for the benefit of those with foot and ankle ailments.

The Federation focuses on global leadership and the development of podiatry around the world. Working together collaboratively with leaders of the podiatry profession, the Federation enhances the podiatric profession through the sharing of knowledge, practice and research among 26 member countries.

IPD was elected at the the European Association Awards which recognises excellence and exceptional quality delivered by associations across Europe. Our very own International Podiatry Day Campaign was a finalist in the category Best Communications Campaign.

Thanks to everyone that contributed to this day we are very proud to announce that we just received the Bronze Award 🏅!

We asked key opinion leaders in podiatry worldwide to support the campaign. Discover why podiatry is important for them, their patients and how they see the future of this great profession.

Podiatrists from all over the world give their support to International Podiatry Day. Videos will be only online on International Podiatry Day itself.

	Mrs Gwen French - Past President FIP-IFP 1997-1999 “As the experts in foot care at all levels we have an immense responsibility not only for research and advancement but also to ensure that our basic level of skill is preserved and not diluted. It is surely a legitimate claim for us to maintain the ability of so many of the public to keep mobile thus reducing the burden on both public and private finances. We should direct more of our public relations efforts towards government agencies at various levels to ensure that there is a realisation of the impact that podiatry/chiropody has on the populace. Providing a good podiatry/chiropody service gathers VOTES!"
