Yes, at 6 AM on a Sunday! 😅 Because even though I would have loved a little lie-in, keeping my knowledge and skills up to date is part of looking after you.
And honestly? 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿. 👣❤️
But did you know that, as Foot Health Practitioners, we are required to refresh our First Aid qualifications every three years?
And have you ever wondered why this training is so important, or how it could make a difference to you as my patient?

Although our daily work focuses on keeping your feet healthy, we also need to know how to respond quickly and appropriately if a medical emergency occurs during your appointment.
From recognising the signs of fainting or a sudden loss of consciousness to knowing how to respond to a severe allergic reaction, chest pain or someone who stops breathing, up-to-date First Aid knowledge can make a real difference.
🚨 It’s about knowing what to do, how to do it, and when to call for emergency medical assistance.
Because being a good Foot Health Practitioner isn’t just about treating your feet. It’s also about creating a safe, professional environment where you can feel comfortable, confident and in good hands.

Refreshing our knowledge and practising our skills helps us stay confident, prepared and ready to respond when it matters most.
And, as always, the training was delivered brilliantly by 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗘 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱. A big thank you to the team for another excellent and valuable training session! 👏💚
So, while you were enjoying your well-deserved Sunday lie-in, I was investing in something incredibly important: 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱. ❤️
Because behind every appointment is a professional who continues to learn, develop and prepare to give you the best possible care.
