UPDATE FROM CHAIRMAN

It's been a hot one so far, with many areas having no rain and hosepipe bans, and a few areas having had more than their fair share of the wet stuff!

It's hard working in temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius, especially when your car is like an oven each time you get back to it if you run a domiciliary service.

I have mitigated this slightly by using a windscreen cover, which blocks out the sun from the front. No good though when the sun moves to the side windows. At least my steering wheel's not like holding molten lava!

Remember to check your engines' water and oil, as well as the screen wash to clear dusty windows, and, take plenty of water (one of those metal flasks are ideal as they keep your drink cold).

Have a great summer everyone!

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
