Accredited Practice

Did you know Complete Podiatry Practice is an Accredited Practice? But what does this mean?

For the practice to have been accredited by the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists we have reviewed our practice standards to ensure that they comply with national standards and best practice within the profession.

In achieving accredited status, we not only undertook a careful review of the practice, and asked another Podiatrist to check our findings, but we also agreed to the practice being inspected by independent assessors appointed by the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists.

The practice applied for practice accreditation because we feel that our clients have the right to be confident that their care is being provided within a safe environment. Not that the scheme is only concerned with the clinical environment, it also amongst other things ensures that:

• Reusable instruments are properly cleaned and sterilized between patients
• Staff engaged in continuing professional development so as to keep their knowledge and skills up to date
• Patient confidentiality is respected and proper care is taken with patient information
• We explain treatment options, where appropriate, and costs so that you can make an informed choice
• Appropriate referral pathways exist for clients who need specialist care, and
• Practice working methods are constantly reviewed.

I therefore feel confident in the care that you will receive within this practice.
