Chiropody Clinic in Bovey Tracey Takes a Big Step Forward

Well Healed Podiatry at The Old Bakery, Bovey Tracey is please to announce that it has been awarded Practice Accreditation by The Society of Podiatrists and Chiropodists. It joins only a handful of other practices in Devon to have been recognized in this way, the nearest of which is over 20 miles away.

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

Elizabeth Williams practice owner and HPC registered Podiatrist and Chiropodist, said” we are delighted to have achieved this prestigious accolade in recognition of our hard work and high standards of practice. In achieving accredited status, we not only undertook a careful review, 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 and Podiatrists.

We 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 sterilised between patients;

• Staff engage 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 cost 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.

To celebrate and share our achievement we would like to offer all new patients to the practice a wonderful free gift to help maintain healthy happy feet. To book an appointment with one of our Podiatrists and chiropodists (HPC reg) telephone our reception on 01626 830743, Monday to Friday from 9am to 5 pm. We look forward to meeting you.
