Regulate and legalise a limited scope of work for Foot Health Practitioners

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

People acting as “ Foot Health Practitioners “ are offering unregulated services to the general public in the same way as a qualified HCPC regulated podiatrist does. It is a patient safety risk especially for high risk patients with diabetes and needs to be legislated with a limited scope of work
