hi everyone, i have nearly finished my chiropody course and found this sight very helpful!!

 

Hi there!
wow , where are you studying chiropody? I didn't know they still called it that these days! lol
Anyhoo, welcome! (i'm quite new myself!)

 

Hello tonercm,
I see from your next post that you say you are training to be an FHP. I would suggest that you make sure you know what exactly you are studying because if you don't you could be sanctioned by the HPC for Misuse of a Protected Title.

Hi Catfoot,
what post was this?

 

Hi andersonkchan,
I refer to this one,

It seems this student doesn't know what they are studying.

In UK there is a very big difference between "Chiropody" - which is not taught any more but is a "Protected Title" (as it Podiatry")

http://www.hpc-uk.org/aboutregistration/protectedtitles/

and being an FHP, which is a title that can be used by anyone regardless of training levels. Training to be an FHP does not lead to HPC Registration - only a Podiatry degree does that.

I hope that helps

regards

ah yes,
I'm in Australia Catfoot, didn't know much about FHP, HPC etc, had to read up on all the links you've provided lol.

you do make a valid point. According to that site - chiropodist & podiatrist are def protected..

haven't seen the OP back yet tho.. hmm..
