UPDATE FROM CHAIRMAN

I have no idea where last year went! I hope you managed to rest and enjoy the festive season.

Now winter is well and truly with us, with high winds, sub-zero temperatures, heavy rain and, in some areas, snow. Remember, if you are traveling, make sure you have checked your car oil, water, screen wash and tyre pressures, and take a blanket and a hot drink in a flask. You never know when you may need them. Also make sure you wear the correct shoes and clothing in case of emergency. 

Stay safe! I hope you keep busy and healthy in 2026.

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 around the UK and they are working hard to provide members with informative and welcoming meetings. So, 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. 

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
