Podiatry is a CORU-regulated profession in Ireland since 2021, with protected titles since March 2023. Sterilisation traceability is best practice for invasive podiatric procedures — and professional accountability demands it.
Podiatry in Ireland is regulated under the Health and Social Care Professionals Act 2005 (as amended). The CORU Podiatrists Registration Board opened the register in March 2021, and the titles 'podiatrist' and 'chiropodist' have been legally protected since March 2023. While there is no specific sterilisation legislation for podiatry, CORU fitness to practise proceedings can address practice standards — including instrument handling. Podiatrists performing invasive procedures with reusable instruments should maintain sterilisation traceability as a core professional obligation.
