What you need to know about qualifications, insurance and getting started -- specific to Tittle Row and the wider Windsor and Maidenhead area.
Open the Foot Care Business Launch Kit to see everything included — £22A mobile foot care business means travelling to clients rather than working from fixed premises -- and Tittle Row, like everywhere in the UK, has its own rules about what you can and can't call yourself. Here's the picture before your first visit in Windsor and Maidenhead.
What the rules say
Foot care has no statutory training requirement of its own -- what's strictly off-limits is using the protected titles "podiatrist" or "chiropodist" without HCPC registration. Clients, insurers and care-home referrers will still generally expect to see recognised training. Public liability insurance isn't a legal must for a sole trader, but given the hands-on nature of the work, most practitioners treat it as non-negotiable.
