This qualification has been designed to recognise learners’ achievements within foot health care. It promotes awareness of preventing and treating common foot and skin disorders, including professional referrals and managing client information effectively. It has also been developed in line with the Standards for the Foot Health Workforce published by Health Education England in 2021.
Innovate Awarding has offered the nationally accredited Level 3 Diploma for the Foot Health Care Practitioner since 2015.
More recently, a review was undertaken to update the qualification to meet the requirements of the NHS England Standards for the Foot Health Workforce, specifically the Level 4 Foot Health Practitioner. Now, the new Level 4 Diploma for the Foot Health Care Practitioner is the only nationally accredited qualification in foot health at this level.
If you’re a graduate of our IAO Level 3 Diploma for the Foot Health Care Practitioner course, this top-up qualification could be for you.
Our Level 4 course allows you to upskill during your 1 day practical at our training clinic in Birmingham.
