​

A Foot Health Practitioner (FHP) is qualified to provide routine foot care and maintain good health. 

 

I will assess the condition of your feet, treat as appropriate and refer when required.

 

We spend most of our lives on our feet and they bare our weight, yet we take them for granted.

 

It is a priority to maintain good foot health particularly if the following relates to you:

​

• Diabetes

• Elderly

• Long term medication

• Long term illness

• Injury

• Weight gain

• Impact exercise

• Genetics

• Shoe type

 
 

CLINIC APPOINTMENTS

​

Holt & Melton Constable Medical Practices and Coastal Health & Wellbeing (aka Wells Community Hospital) offer ground-floor treatment rooms, both locations have ample parking with bus stops close by. Coastal Health & Wellbeing also has a café and offers services for the community. 

Because these are health care settings, some precautions are still in place. If you have any viral flu/vomiting symptoms then I respectfully ask that you postpone your appointment.

Appointments take 1/2 hour, in the event you are late, it is unlikely I will be able to see you as this will delay the next patient appointment. In this case, please contact myself or reception ASAP. 

​

 

NEW PATIENT FORM

​

Before we begin your first treatment we will complete your medical history and consent to treat / GDPR form. If you are unsure, then please have to hand a list of your medications and what you have been diagnosed with. 

​

 

ASSESSMENT OF CAPACITY

​

When an appointment is made by a relative or carer, I will ask if the patient has sufficient capacity to agree to their treatment. If they lack capacity, then I require the consent form to be completed by the person making the booking, along with providing payment.
 

​

A HOME VISIT  

 

Before my visit, we will have discussed your appointment time and parking etc. I endeavour to be with you around the hour I have given, however, if I am running late or early then I will call you ASAP.

 

Each treatment can differ, but I will normally spend around 1/2 hour with you. 

 

If I have any concerns during your appointment that need medical intervention then we will discuss a referral to your GP or District Nurse.

 

If you have a dog/cat, please kindly pop him somewhere behind doors. I am an animal lover, but it can be a challenge during treatment.

 

And lastly, my visits always include a friendly smile and a good catch-up, after all you are a person above the feet! Your treatment finishes with a little foot massage with hydromol or urea cream or your prescribed lotion, leaving you and your feet feeling relaxed and comfortable again.

​

HOW TO PAY

​

I take card payments from a SumUp machine. I also take cash, cheque and BACS. I can email and text your receipts or invoices.

​

​

REMINDER NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT

 

Unfortunately I do not have the facility to send out automatic text/email reminders. However, when possible I will attempt to remind patients about their pending appointments, but I do provide an appointment card at each treatment and therefore ask that you transfer that information onto your diary.

​

​

CANCELLATION AND NO SHOW POLICY

​

Once you have booked an appointment, I have reserved time in my diary, planned my day according to location or paid room fees. Therefore, if you need to cancel or rearrange your appointment, then I respectfully request 48 hours' notice. In the event of a 'no show or late cancellation' whereby you have forgotten your appointment or failed to cancel your appointment within 24 hours, then a fee will be incurred to cover my costs.
