    Good afternoon colleagues,<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 6pt; COLOR: #222222; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">

    <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[​IMG]If you are HPC registered for over 3 yrs, are based in or close to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 /><st1:place w:st="on">Southampton</st1:place>, and have considered becoming a supervisor or have experience. Then we may be able to talk, because I need to structure an update plan to resume HPC registration. I have thought that it ought to be mutually beneficial to all parties, by drawing upon all of my existing skills and experience as well as exposing me to any that I need to refresh. It need not be limited to private practice, eg. if there was potential to collaborate with the Uni. of Southampton I would also be interested.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    I am a fully qualified Podiatrist, with 7 years total of clinical experience, including 3 in a NHS specialist biomechanics service, 2 in Australia following my course completion there and 2 recent years working in a Spanish private practice. <o:p></o:p>
    HPC guidance states that I will need to complete 60 days updating. Up to 30 of these days can be private study, with the remaining 30 to be either supervised practice and/or formal study.<o:p></o:p>
    My areas of interest are: <o:p></o:p>
    Diabetes Care: wound care, footwear advice.<o:p></o:p>
    Preventative Health Promotion: the important role of healthy feet in helping to promote and maintain general health.<o:p></o:p>
    Sports Related Injuries: wide ranging experience in treating sports persons, through rehabilitative exercises, manufactured and prescribed custom orthoses as well as standard.<o:p></o:p>
    I am currently employed in a non clinical full time NHS post in Hampshire. I have much experience in private practice management and business administration, such as accounts and database management, ordering supplies, orthotic manufacture, as well as having experience in a NHS commissioning/finance department. <o:p></o:p>
    My deadline to complete the supervision is by January 2013.<o:p></o:p>
    Please pm me with your details if you would like to discuss this.<o:p></o:p>
    Kind regards,<o:p></o:p>
    John Gregory

    BTW, the following link explains the wide ranging role that the supervisor may have for returners to practice:Section 4 of http://www.hpc-uk.org/assets/documen...o_practice.pdf<o:p></o:p>
