A READER?S QUESTION ? Foot Health Course
I am a nail Tech. I am booked to do a?manicure/ pedicure course in a few weeks as I am retraining in nails and going into business. I love feet but there are clients I cannot treat due to contraindications diabetes or?verruca?s. For insurance purposes I have to?refer client to G.P and not allowed to treat unless I have a doctors letter of consent. I am insured with the Guild. It?s a catch twenty two as not all clients are honest about conditions or I may not be able to tell if they have any thing wrong with them. For my own interest I think it?s important for me to be educated and professional. I have read some of your web and found it really interesting. If you could point me in the right direction or post a link on a foot health care course. I am in the Cardiff area.
ANSWER
Sorry I don?t have any information about foot health care courses in Cardiff ? it?s nowhere near where I live. If you are serious about learning about feet you should consider doing a podiatry degree and not a foot health course, some of which are only a week long.??A podiatry degree will mean you will be able to register with the Health and Care Professions Council, our regulatory body. Anyone who just does a foot health course will be unable to register with the HCPC because the courses are deemed not to be of a suitable standard for registration and you will have to work as an unregistered ?foot health? person instead of a registered chiropodist or podiatrist.
I?m interested in why?you?refer to a GP, why not a chiropodist or podiatrist??You say this is because of your insurance company but that?s a very strange insurance clause ? to have to refer to a GP. I would have thought?your insurance company?would only recommend that?you to refer on to a professionally trained person or treat within your scope. And for them to say you can?t?treat someone with diabetes or a verruca without a doctor?s letter of consent is even more odd.
