His particular specialist interests and extended training lie in the treatment of hallux valgus and mid and hindfoot reconstruction for complex pathological flatfoot conditions and cosmetic foot surgery.
He is a strong believer in achieving technical excellence in the field of foot surgery and continues to frequently lecture on seminars and conferences; and gives training guidance to less experienced colleagues. He has spent time in the USA extending his scope of surgical practice with American podiatric surgeons (Seattle & Chicago) and more recently in Luebeck Germany with both podiatric and orthopaedic foot specialists.
Mr Hargrave is also a registered surgical Tutor and examiner for the Faculty of Surgery, College of Podiatrists, and an expert witness for the Health professions Council (HPC).
The Modern Foot Surgery Specialist
Podiatric surgeons are the only practicing foot surgery specialists in the UK whose entire training spans eleven years totally dedicated to the foot and associated structures. Further to this they are the only foot surgery specialists in the UK who are formally examined in foot surgery and foot surgery techniques.
Mr Hargrave gained a 3-year bachelor of science honours degree in clinical podiatry, award of Fellowship of the College of Podiatry (Surgery) - FCPodS - is gained after 5 further years of post-graduate training and examination by the Faculty of Podiatric Surgery, College of Podiatry. A further 3-years training under a Consultant is then required to gain the Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training (CCST) - 11 years in total.
Podiatric surgeons are independently trained (similar to dental surgeons), and are, therefore, not registered medical practitioners. They are registered under the regulatory body, the Health Professions Council UK (HPC). Mr Hargrave's HPC registration number is CH.9240.
