Over the years podiatric surgeons have had difficulties in accessing operating theatres in private hospitals. In recent times orthopaedics, who often chair medical advisory committees, have become more hardline when faced with podiatric surgeons applying for privileges and, in some cases, podiatrists have been ousted with little or no ceremony. My partner and I have, for a number of years. run a standalone unit providing theatre facilities for both ourselves and other podiatrists. In the early days of podiatric surgery this was the only way in which we could operate. However, with some people being granted privileges in private hospitals there was a sense in which podiatry units were frowned on. Our unit has, for the past two years, been in the process of upgrading towards a Care Standards Commission inspection. My question is 'does the profession believe that we are likely to become more acceptable in private hospitals and, if not, does the small standalone unit run by podiatrists for podiatrists have a future?'
