Alternative to Interpod insoles in the UK
Hi, I’m done with using Algeos who seem to be monopolising and commercialising our field and are the sole importers of these insoles. I find their customer service diabolical, the account handling useless, they keep sending me the wrong thing and giving the impression i’m the problem somehow, they never tell me if they are out of stock and the invoicing bears no relation to their withdrawals from my account messing up my books. :bang: If they spent a fraction of the time they spend on marketing and trying to be the Tescos of podiatry on actually doing the thing we pay them for perhaps they would have a functioning company Continue reading
New guidelines to drive improvement in orthotic services for the NHS
Press Release: New guidelines to drive improvement in orthotic services 19 November 2015 – 10:00 Patients in England should be able to expect greater quality and consistency in orthotic services in the future thanks to the results of a national review.

Excellent comment from Cornmerchant
Saw this comment from Cornmerchant on another thread, but it is SO SO true, top marks to Cornmerchant: “If we could only get the GPs to refer immediately to a podiatrist , the need for antibiotics would be reduced significantly. How many times do you see a patient that has had two or even three courses of AB and still the problem is there? It is because they do not understand the etiology of the IGTN and are not aware of the treatment available Continue reading

Fiona McWilliam, who worked with NHS Highland, also bullied a colleague by persistently staring at her and hurling written messages at the woman. She told a patient: ‘You’re very late anyway’ within earshot of other members of the staff and the patient’s child. Continue reading
Please answer `yes` or `no`
Please take a minute to answer `yes`, or `no` to the very simple question posed by Mark on the UK Podiatry Facebook page; https://www.facebook.com/groups/207000109406878/ “For those who have been part of the profession from 2003 onwards, was it your understanding/impression from your professional body and/or regulator that if you used a title such as chiropodist or podiatrist without holding registration with the HCPC you would be committing a criminal offence by misusing a “protected title”? We are not debating this subject, but would appreciate your answers. Many thanks Bel Continue reading
