About Foot Care

Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Foot Care

In Quebec, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)—known as infirmières auxiliaires—play an important role in providing non-invasive medical foot care, particularly for prevention, comfort, and ongoing maintenance.

LPNs are regulated healthcare professionals and members of the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers auxiliaires du Québec (OIIAQ). They work within a defined scope of practice and often collaborate with podiatrists, physicians, and other healthcare providers when advanced or specialized care is required.

Foot care services provided by LPNs

Licensed Practical Nurses may provide:

  • Nail trimming and care for thickened or dystrophic nails

  • Reduction of corns and calluses (non-invasive)

  • Skin care and hygiene

  • Monitoring of circulation, sensation, and skin integrity

  • Preventive foot care for seniors and individuals with chronic conditions

  • Basic diabetic foot care and education (within scope)

LPNs do not diagnose medical conditions or perform surgical or invasive procedures. Clients requiring diagnosis, biomechanical assessment, or advanced treatment are referred to a podiatrist or physician.

Foot care and chronic conditions

LPN-provided foot care is especially beneficial for:

  • Seniors

  • People with diabetes

  • Individuals with limited mobility or vision

  • Clients in long-term care, community clinics, or home care settings

Regular foot care by an LPN can help reduce the risk of infection, ulcers, and complications, while supporting comfort and mobility.

Coverage in Quebec

Foot care provided by LPNs is generally not covered by RAMQ, but many private insurance plans, seniors’ programs, or employer benefits may offer reimbursement. A physician’s referral is usually not required.
