The Problem Isn't You. It's How It Was Explained to You.

You're at the treatment chair, gloves on the trolley, and your tutor asks: "When do you clean your hands?" You know there are five moments. You can only name two.

The module covers them in three paragraphs: before, after, aseptic task, body fluids, surroundings. Five ideas buried in sentences, with nothing to look at.

WHO 5 moments, drawn around the treatment chair (NIPCM, Chapter 1)

In the book, hand hygiene is one page: the treatment chair drawn from above, with the five moments marked around it, from before you touch the client to after you touch their chair, footrest or trolley.

The same goes for the 10-step treatment, the benchtop autoclave, the straight-across cut, corn or verruca and the 10 g monofilament test: each one has its own page.

You picture the chair, you see the five points, and you clean your hands at the right moments without opening the module again.

The Same Topic, Two Ways to Study It

THIS
  • The manual: line after line of text
  • Pressure points described only in words
  • You reach the assessment still unsure
During the stance phase of gait, body weight is transmitted through the plantar surface of the foot and concentrated over specific bony prominences. The principal areas of loading comprise the posterior plantar aspect of the calcaneus, the heads of the first and fifth metatarsals and the distal plantar surfaces of the digits. Sustained or repetitive loading at these sites, particularly in the presence of reduced plantar fat padding or inappropriate footwear, predisposes to hyperkeratotic lesions and, in the neuropathic foot, to tissue breakdown and ulceration.
FOR THIS
  • The pressure points in one drawing
  • The four sites in one box
  • You see it and you get it

One Page, One Topic, All Clear

Think of it this way:

Tomorrow your first client has diabetes. Before you pick up the nippers you'll check sensation, and you want the monofilament sites clear in your head, not half-remembered from a module.

You open the book at the 10 g monofilament test and the sole is drawn with every test site marked, with what to write in the record next to it.

Nippers, files, Black's file, probe and burr: one row, one job each.

The same with the benchtop autoclave, the straight-across cut, soft corns between the toes, the hot, swollen foot and your scope of practice: each one on its own page.

Foot Care Illustrated is 7 parts and 59 topics, all drawn, with the treat-or-refer master chart and the practical assessment at the end.

What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it for me if I'm on a foot health course or already trim nails at work?

Yes. It's written for UK foot health and foot care students, care workers and healthcare assistants, and nail technicians adding foot care. If you already work, it gives you the order and the treat-or-refer line on every page.

Where does the content come from?

It's written in line with current UK guidance: NICE NG19 on diabetic foot problems, the NHS England National Infection Prevention and Control Manual, HTM 07-01 on healthcare waste and NHS information on foot conditions.

Is it official material?

No. It's independent study material. It isn't produced or endorsed by the NHS, NICE or any course provider, and it doesn't come with a certificate or CPD hours: it's for studying and revising alongside your course.

Does it replace my course or practical training?

No. It's for study and revision. It doesn't replace your course, supervised practice or advice from a GP or podiatrist, and it doesn't qualify you to practise or to use a protected title such as podiatrist or chiropodist.

Are the practice questions the ones in the exam?

No. The questions are written for this book to help you test yourself. They are not official questions from any exam or assessment.

When and how does it arrive?

As a PDF by email, to the address you enter at checkout. The 2 free books come as PDFs too.

Do I have to pay every month?

No. It's a one-off payment. There's no subscription.

Can I have it on paper?

Yes. The PDF is made to print, at home or at a print shop, so you can keep the pages you use most by the treatment chair.

How does the refund work?

You have 30 days. We refund everything if the file won't open, if the book isn't what you see on this page, if you were charged twice or if the email doesn't arrive: just email us.
