UPDATE FROM CHAIRMAN

I hope everyone enjoyed the hot summer months. A bit warm for many of us I am sure, with temperatures in the 30's.

We are now rolling into autumn, with the nights drawing in and rain in many places. 

Take care out there on the roads if you are domiciliary. With the darker nights and inclement weather on its way, people are now beginning to wear enclosed footwear so the corns will be back with a vengeance. Make sure your patients have copies of the specialist footwear brochures such as Wider Fit, Cosyfeet, Hotter, Sandpiper and Friendly Shoes (to name a few). They could change someone's quality of life: along with your expert care!

Keep safe and remember to take care of yourselves too!

REMEMBER:

This website is intended to offer information and contact (and is under constant change and updates), but if you cannot find what you are looking for then please email me. 

There are 9 branches so far around the UK and they are working hard to provide members with informative and welcoming meetings. If you are a qualified practitioner treating foot problems (Chiropodist, Podiatrist or FHP), or a student in this field, then why not pop along to one of our meetings? They will be happy to welcome you - whoever you trained with. The new branch in Cumbria should be open soon so please come back and check if there are any more details available

Being a member of a branch offers so much more than CPD. They also offer support, networking and friendship. They offer First Aid training, Autoclave servicing and sharps collections (selected branches only), and being a branch member enables you to be eligible to apply to the Benevolent Fund should you need to in an emergency (subject to certain criteria).
 

Dates and venues are listed on this site but please email me for branch contact details.

Please get in touch with us using the "contact us" link if you have any issues or queries. (Please note, I cannot recommend practitioners as I do not hold a list of those qualified, but I can point you in the right direction if you advise me of the area you are looking when you email).

Kindest regards,  

Deborah Mercer 

Chairman BCPA/BAFHP
