OFTEN IMITATED - NEVER BETTERED

The College of Foot Health Practitioners will give you the confidence essential to success by ensuring that you acquire effective clinical skills and sound business principles. Delivered directly by a strong team of successful practitioners, the training has a proven track record. The objective is to make you competent to run an independant health practice safely as a self employed practitioner.

Students that graduate from our Foot Health Practitioner Course gain a working knowledge sufficient to make a success of private practice.

Foot Health Practitioners attend to conditions that affect the foot and leg. These range from routine care of nails, treatment of verrucas, corns, hard skin, callus, through to functional problems of the foot.

Our course is divided into 10 theory modules, studied at home in the same way as Open University learners study, with interactive support and guidance from the tutors. These 10 modules provide our students with complete grounding in anatomy, foot care and diagnosis.

Students then complete 11 days practical training. At the College of Foot Health Practitioners we recommend a minimum of 11 days in order to gain sufficient experience in all aspects of clinical work. The College has well established clinics and a database of more than 3000 regular patients. Each student will single-handedly treat approximately 40 patients during the course of training. Under supervision of the College's tutors you will gain excellent hands on experience of assessment, diagnosis, foot care treatment and learn safe scalpel technique (a technique that is exclusive to this College) .

Training as a Foot Health practitioner is a genuine opportunity for a career change, and by charging realistic fees and justifying them by attentive service it is possible to earn at a good rate, either in a private surgery, domiciliary, or in the nursing home.

Having qualified as a Foot Health Practitioner, the Alliance of Private Sector Practitioners www.thealliancepsp.com provides insurance cover for all aspects of practice, update and advancment of skills and opportunity for social interaction with colleagues. The Alliance is a dynamic and rapidly growing professional body working to promote private practice.
