If you are interested in reviewing the College’s regulation dealing with the prescribing of oral and topical medications and the administration of substances by injection into the foot, please refer to Regulation 338/08. The information is specifically found in Part 1 of Regulation 338/08 and Schedules 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The following PDF document was prepared by Dr. Michael Beazely, University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy entitled " Recommendations for Pharmacotherapy Educational upgrading for Chiropodists in Ontario." It was approved by College Council on February 5, 2010.

 

The following document is the Fair Registration Practices Report (2009) for the College of Chiropodists of Ontario. The report was prepared for the Office of the Fairness Commissioner (OFC). The OFC requires all the regulated professions to submit reports about their registration practices and their compliance with the Fair Access to Regulated Professions Act, 2006 (FARPA) or the Health Professions Procedural Code (the Code) set out in Schedule 2 of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991.

This link will present a 25 page PDF version of the College’s
Fair Registration Practices Report (2009).

HPRAC recently released its report entitled Critical Links: Transforming and Supporting Patient Care: Report to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care on Mechanisms to Facilitate and Support Interprofessional Collaboration and a New Framework for the Prescribing and Use of Drugs by Non-Physician Regulated Health Professions.

Our College was involved in the review. Please take a look at the report - you will find it very interesting. Chapter 7 specifically deals with chiropodists and podiatrists.
