Firoz’s professional career spans some 25 years, during which time he has worked within the NHS and private sectors. Firoz has trained in a number of medical and allied disciplines including chiropody & podiatry (Qualifying in 1988 @ Northampton School of Podiatry), orthotics, prosthetics, musculoskeletal medicine, sports therapy, foot surgery (Qualifying in 1997), Pedorthics (Qualifying as Board Certified Pedorthist @ New York School Of Pedorthic Medicine in 2003), acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (Qualifying in 2005), hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming (Qualifying in 2007).

Firoz left full time clinical practice in 2003 and set up a medical product development company called Orthotic-Lab Limited and returned back to clinical practice in early 2011. In July 2011 his application to be restored to the HCPC register was approved. Since then Firoz has been working with a range of colleagues to update his skills while continuing to provide footcare and pedorthic services. Formal registration with the HCPC is expected to be finalised later this year.
