If you have a
complaint…
If you have reason to think that we are
not doing what the practice accreditation
scheme would expect, please let us know
What is Practice Accreditation?
For our practice to have been accredited by the Society of Chiropodists & 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 inspectors appointed by the Society of Chiropodists & Podiatrists.
We applied for practice accreditation because we feel that our patients 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:
We will be happy to discuss your
concerns and answer any questions that
you may have.

If our explanations do not satisfy you,
you can complain to the Society of
