dear All,

At our staff meeting yesterday i did a 10 min presentation on the correct use of our pt tt paperwork.

I used this chap as an example.

I WENT THROUGH ALL THE TRANSCRIPT OF THE HPC HEARING.

I then added that it was his failure to use the depts paperwork correctly and fully and to follow dept guidelines that got him struck off.

NOT his alleged and unsubstantiated conduct .

it would appear that this fellow had a problem.

What was funny was that a female colleague stated that KY jelly is in all our clinics as we occassionally use it as a medium for ultrasound and as a medium for lubricant purposes. This is very rarely though.

regards David

 

I shudder to think how the podiatrist in question must be feeling after reading the lurid headines propogated by the press and media and I can't help but wonder just how John Prescott or Mark Oaten would fare if they were registrants of the HPC instead of being simply a Deputy Prime Minister or a Member of Parliament with responsibilities of governance....

 

Although the HPC make a great drama out of striking people off the register, the truth is that they are little more than toothless tigers as far as podiatry and some other professions are concerned.In our profession capable of operating in the private sector all you do is reinvent yourself as foot health professional and carry on as usual.Not only that, under the present stupid rules of the HPC a registrant may be employed by the person who has been struck to carry out anaesthetics leaving them to do minor surgery.What is really dishonest is that they this in full public gaze for the "protection of the public".My question to the HPC is how can they say they are protecting the public when they so obviously don't.To date I've had no reply.
