What is a Foot Health Practitioner (FHP)?

A Foot Health Practitioner is qualified to provide routine footcare and maintenance for your feet. They can assess the condition of your feet and treat as appropriate and refer you if necessary. There can be many reasons for using a Foot Health Practitioner, from routine nail cutting to general foot health or even for specific foot complaints such as corns or ingrowing toenails. A Foot Health Practitioner may be used if you have mobility and/or flexibility issues or simply don’t have sufficient hand strength to operate nail clippers. It could be that your eye sight is not sufficient for accurate nail cutting and once a nail has thickened it can be very hard to cut. The service offered is to ensure that your feet are healthy and in the best possible condition. Patients include young and old, male and female, those with diabetes, arthritis, mobility and eyesight problems as well as those who love to give their feet a treat. Your feet are one of your most important parts of your body and are put under pressure all day long.

What is a routine appointment?

A routine appointment will include nail cutting, filing, painless removal of calluses and corns. Treatment and advice will be given for other foot problems such as ingrowing toenails and fungal nail infections.

How long does an appointment last?

At the initial visit a full medical history is obtained and a foot health assessment is carried out. This appointment will last up to 1 hour. A routine appointment will last up to 45 minutes.

How often should I see an FHP?

Seeing your Foot Health Practitioner every six weeks is a good balance.
