What is International Podiatry Day?

International Podiatry Day (IPD) is the global awareness Campaign which aims to spread the word about the importance of foot health. Celebrated every year on the 8th of October, International Podiatry Day wants to become the biggest event focused on foot health around the world and the greatest effort to raise awareness on Podiatry both with the general public, other health professions and government health officials about the impact and the dangers of foot and ankle ailments.

“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!"
