Dear All,

I have just heard some rather disturbing news from a colleague. Age Concern, in tandem with the NHS, are rolling out a footcare service in their county.
The details are :-
Cost of initial home visit (including kit) = £25.00. Subseqent visits = £17.00
Cost of intial clinic visit (with kit) - £21.00. Subsequent treatments = £13.00
Treatment will be provided by a footcare assistant with no qualifications, provided by Age Concern.
Corns will not be treated but thick toe-nails will.
The NHS in the region is starting to refer patients.
Is this an issue of concern to the HCPC, as pods are referring to unqualified persons?
In addition, how do SCP members stand with regard to professional liability issues ?
Comments and opinions, please.
