Frequently Asked Questions

What Covid-19 precautions are you taking?

​

I currently do lateral flow tests daily.

If any showed a positive result I would telephone to postpone

appointments and follow the current government guidelines.

​

I wear PPE (mask, apron and gloves) to each visit which is disposed of after your treatment. All equipment is thoroughly cleaned and instruments are sterilised via autoclaving, as is standard practice.

What is a Foot Health Practitioner?

​

A Foot Health Practitioner (FHP) is trained in the theoretical and practical aspects of Foot Health.

 

This diploma level qualification enables me to assess the condition of your feet, treat as appropriate and refer on to the relevant professionals when necessary (i.e. your GP) but always with your consent. I provide routine foot care and maintenance concentrating on 'every day' problems which affect the foot, including: nail care, dry skin and callus and corns etc. (please see full list on the treatments page.) My aim is to restore and maintain the healthy state of your feet.

​

Podiatrists (previously called Chiropodists) hold a degree level qualification and will have studied the lower limb as well as the foot. They treat cases which require specialist support that can't be delivered by a FHP. 

​

I am a Foot Health Practitioner, not a Podiatrist.

How often should I get my feet treated?

Every individual is different but in general it is advisable for your feet to be treated every six to eight weeks.

​

​

What area do you cover?

I live near Tring and so can carry out visits in Tring, Berkhamsted and the surrounding villages.
