** Great News for Foot Care Pros **

We have some great news for you if you're a foot care professional or thinking of becoming one.

It can be time comsuming and, at times, bewildering, trying to find materials to help you
with your foot care techniques and businesses.

And, as some of our students tell us, it can be a bit lonely out there.

We've taken all the comments on board and the good news is, for the time being at least,
we're making our membership site available for NO CHARGE to everyone who is:

~ A foot care practitioner (of whatever level)
~ Using foot care in their complementary therapy practice
~ Thinking about going into foot care

So, go across to http://www.footcaretraining.co.uk and have a look!

Even if you have already joined at Bronze level, you'll see you now have access to
all parts of the site.

Here are the things you'll see:

:: Training updates

:: Forum (share stories and finds, ask questions, etc, with other foot care pros)

:: Get in the directory

:: Foot care articles and videos

:: Business and marketing advice

:: Offers (such as discounted insurance and websites)

Latest Prospectus and Course Dates

Hello again

It's been a busy few months - in fact, where is this year going?!! - and we've been fully occupied by, among other things, designing the new two-week intensive course AND getting it fully accredited by the NCFE.

There's also a complete new home-study course for your essential Anatomy and Physiology qualification - again fully-accredited. We do a first aid at work course, too.

Plus, we've been almost constantly updating the Foot Care College website and we've revamped the Foot Care Professionals membership site, too - it's now FREE!!

We've even found time to run courses and treat lots of people's feet AND to welcome a new member of staff, Kerry Thomas, to the Foot Care Centre. It's fair to say, Kerry has been a revelation and freed up a lot of time (that we've somehow managed to fill!!).

Having Kerry on hand has also meant Jacqui could get on much quicker with the websites and other marketing for the Centre and College, including a series of articles published in Kings Lynn News that have brought in even more clients!

The laser is proving extremely popular, people are loving the cryo-treatment we now offer and there's something else new and very special in the pipeline, too.

All of which is a very long-winded excuse for not updating this blog for a while!!!

Anyway, how does all this affect you?

Well, you can now download the new prospectus and see the latest course dates at the College Website, AND you can sign up at the membership site and get full access to everything for free, AND you can still contact the clinic to get your feet treated!!

Telephone: 01553 768 661 or email: enquiries@thefootcarecentrekingslynn.co.uk

Now I think I might need a lie down!!

Kings Lynn Foot Care Clinic Announces 'Freeze Your Verruca Away' Technology

News Release:

The Foot Care Clinic in Kings Lynn is introducing an exciting addition to help its verruca sufferers. They have brought in cryosurgery equipment and will be running verruca clinics on Tuesdays and Thursdays from January 2011.

Elizabeth Dutton, owner of the clinic says, “For many, verrucas are not only unsightly and embarrassing, but can be painful too, and we like to help people get rid of them as quickly as possible. We already treat verrucas but this cryosurgery equipment will speed up treatment.”

Cryosurgery means the freezing of tissue (in this case, verrucas) using liquid nitrogen. The freezing kills the cells off, and the verruca can typically be expected to be gone after three short treatments. It can also be used to get rid of warts and deep-set corns.

Elizabeth adds, “According to Channel 4’s Embarrassing Illnesses, eight million of us have verrucas! Although some verrucas clear up on their own, it can be a long, and sometimes painful, process to get rid of them by yourself. I’m excited about being able to help people get rid of theirs.”

You can find out more about verruca elimination from www.TheFootCareCentreKingsLynn.co.uk under ‘Clinics’ or call the clinic on 01553 768 661.

Foot Care Centre Moves to Kings Lynn

The Utopia Centre has moved home, changed name and added to its repertoire of services.

Not only can you get treatment for your feet, from corns to orthotics, and coaching for weightloss, at the new Kings Lynn Footcare Centre, you can also undertake training to become a footcare professional yourself.

Starting this summer, we will be staging courses at the centre for a limited number of people to cover everything from the skills and techniques of footcare to setting up your own foot care business, including marketing and even finance.

We'll post more information here when dates for the first courses have been decided.

Meanwhile, contact me, Elizabeth Dutton, for advice on training in foot care and for more news about the full-length courses.
