I’ve published an article on my case with the HCPC which may be of interest to those following proceedings with links to the referred documents at www.mark-russell.net The legal arguments regarding what constitutes an offence under the Health Professions Order in relation to Protected Titles will certainly be of interest to those who practice podiatry in the private sector – as it would appear that in order to secure a conviction the HCPC must demonstrate there was an intention to deceive – for without that, there can be no offence. In recent days I have received a number of emails from colleagues who have also deregistered but still practice under the banner of podiatry or chiropody. To quote one: Quote: I have been involved in a similar case with the HCPC though they have not yet prosecuted me because they are unable to show that the titles, ‘chiropodist’ or podiatrist’ are protected titles
