What I'm trying to do is to raise people's awareness of the AGM process.
Members do not see these Ads. Sign Up.
Too many people think they can't get there so they don't have a say but of course they do provided they use the proxy forms correctly and nominate someone they know is going to be there to represent their views.
If people want to tick the boxes that they feel represents their views Allan is happy to take them forward (even if they have different views).
Please use this name and address as Proxy

What worries me is that about 30 people on average turn up to AGM and they vote on key decisions that affect the whole profession and once agreed they are binding! Obviously, people will vote with the Chair and support Council views as well as people voting against.
Alternatively people can tick the box to let their representative decide for them on the day - a bit of leap of faith but at least the person will have heard all arguments at the AGM.
Before we take in Assistant Practitioners as anything other than associate members we have to protect function and not rely on their word for it that they won't set up as FHPs.
There seems to be a move from within the SCP to push not only APs but also Apprenticeships (see the last two Pod Nows which could have been retitled Assistant Pod Now!).
Members in management of NHS presumably see these grades as being a cheaper way of dealing with work that they believe is somehow 'below' what a podiatrist should be treating.
I believe we should cover the whole spectrum of foot health and in PP you cannot afford to turn away business. The problem then is there are less NHS jobs for new graduates and the existing NHS employees are in real danger of down grading other than a select few at the specialist end. SCP should represent the views of its membership as it is a membership organisation. Hence the need to get those views into every forum including especially the AGM.
