foot health practitioner
A foot health practitioner (FHP) is a private sector provider of routine foot care. The title is most used in Ireland and the United Kingdom. FHPs undertake training to recognise, assess and treat commonly occurring foot conditions.
Training is usually undertaken through distance learning, with practical training delivered in clinics dedicated to this purpose. Many FHPs go on to complete further courses in areas such as biomechanics and cryotherapy. Many foot health practitioners continue their development and remain updated by pursuit of Continuing Professional Development (CPD), despite there being no statutory requirement to do so.
Foot health practitioners are not chiropodists or podiatrists, who are subject to regulation in the United Kingdom by the Health & Care Professions Council, HCPC. Following enactment of the Health and Social Care Act 2012, a Dept of Health sponsored Bill which received Royal Assent on 27 March 2012, Foot Health Practitioners now have an accredited register that is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA) as meeting the PSA standards. It is therefore a government-recognized register. The Professional Standards Authority oversees and audits the work of the nine Statutory Regulators, including the GMC, NMC, HCPC. The Professional Standards Authority can impose fines up to £10,000 upon those who wrongly claim membership of the Accredited Register or display the Accredited Register logo without authority.
