It has been a while since I last posted, but I would like some views on " any qualified provider".

I am interested to here what others think. thank you.

 

In many parts of the world, especially Canada, "Registered Health Professionals with appropriate training and support (from a Podiatrist)" are involved in providing basic foot care - i.e. toenails, corns, and calluses. They are usually Registered Nurses. Some podiatrists employ Podiatry Assistants to do the basic work. As in General Medical Practice: Nurses compliment the work of Doctors. What I am concerned about is church members with no health professional background, and only one hour of training (from a more experienced church member) running foot care clinic at local churches in order to cut toe nails for elderly people. I think at the very least anyone providing foot care must be a registered health professional with appropriate training and support in foot care.

 

our canadian colleague does not understand AQP these are nhs contracts only for registered practitioners. im doing plenty of nail ops kerrybear and its going ok.its just some extra income to put into the overall pot. was lots of hassle to register but its all smooth now. the patients like it cos they dont wait or pay.
