What is a Registered Foot Health Practitioner?
A Registered Foot Health Practitioner (FHP) is an individual that is qualified to carry out

and filing toenails and fingernails, corns and callus, preventing and treating fungal nail
infections and carrying out general check-ups on feet.

assessing their feet for any changes in condition, ensuring that diabetic ulcers don’t
develop and by making sure that their toenails a correctly cut. Having diabetes means that
the wellbeing of your feet is of even greater importance and an FHP can provide a service
where your feet are well maintained, and many troublesome conditions can be spotted in
their infancy and referred on.

Foot problems are very common and can affect everyone of all ages. From corns and callus to bunions and hammertoes, what can often appear as something small
and insignificant, can pose great difficulties with footwear and many daily activities like work and exercise. An FHP 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 your feet are healthy and in the best possible condition, whatever your age. An FHP can deal
with all of these issues for you, with regular footcare, foot problems can be prevented.
