The Institute of Chiropodists and Podiatrists would like to congratulate one of our members, Helen Beaumont-Waters on her new position. On 27th October, Helen, a Podiatrist, Advanced Clinical Practitioner in General Practice and paramedic has been appointed the new Head of Clinical Development for Primary and Urgent Care at the College of Paramedics.
Helen was a paramedic with Yorkshire Ambulance Service for 26 years and trained as an Emergency Care Practitioner, otherwise known as a Specialist Paramedic in Primary and Urgent Care. She qualified as a podiatrist in 2017 and is an Independent and Supplementary Prescriber and has been working with Health Education England on national workforce transformation projects in podiatry.
Helen said: “I am thrilled to be appointed as the College’s Head of Clinical Development in Primary and Urgent Care, and I’m looking forward to the journey ahead to unlock the potential, and evolve the superpowers, of paramedics working in these areas.
“This is an exciting time for the profession, and I believe that together we can drive forward progression for personal and professional development, provide even more opportunities for our members and strengthen our clinical skills to ultimately improve care for all our patients. I look forward to working with everyone at the College to build on the fabulous work they have already done to promote and advance paramedics in primary care.”
Tracy Nicholls, CEO of the College of Paramedics said: “We are delighted to welcome Helen to this new role. We recognise that our members who work in primary and urgent care can feel their views are not always represented but I am sure Helen will enable consultation and representation at a national level through the College with input from members. I have no doubt that she will quickly make an impact and we are particularly pleased with Helen’s additional skills and capabilities which I am sure will provide a very different approach to our future work.”
We are proud to have Helen as a very active member of the IOCP and wish her all the best in her new role.
Dear colleague,
As you may be aware the Department of Health and Social Care has launched a consultation concerning proposed amendments to the Human Medicine Regulations. The purpose of these amendments is to support the deployment of a COVID-19 vaccine and treatment, once available, as well as support the expansion of the seasonal influenza vaccination programme. The consultation is currently available on the Government website via the link below.
These proposals, particularly section three, could impact on the medical entitlements of some of our professions and therefore we would encourage you to respond where possible to represent your profession’s views.
The deadlines is 18th September, however given that the consultation will be short Government will remain open to the possibility of making further changes even after the consultation is finalised and amendments have been made. If you have any questions, you can contact COVID19VaccineTeam@dhsc.gov.uk
The HCPC are currently preparing a response and plan to submit this by the deadline. In the meantime, we are interested to hear from you if your organisation plans to respond to the consultation. We would like to ensure our response aligns and reflects the views of our professions and so would invite you to share your views and key points with us. Please get in touch via email at olivia.bird@hcpc-uk.org.
Kind regards,
Olivia Bird
Policy Manager
PRESS RELEASE

Invitation to join the English Diabetes Footcare Network
Diabetes foot health professionals working in England have been invited to join a new network.
The English Diabetes Footcare Network (EDFN) is an online community dedicated to the improvement of diabetes footcare in England, supported by the College of Podiatry.
Benefits of joining include the dissemination of best practice, a professional forum, education, webinars and podcasts. The network will also share the latest news, publish monthly newsletters and stage an annual conference with awards.
It was formed by a group of interested diabetes foot champions, including Dr Paul Chadwick, Professor Mike Edmonds, Alistair McInnes, Richard Leigh and Christian Pankhurst, who developed a steering group to establish a network across England.
Chair Richard Leigh, who is a Consultant Podiatrist from Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, said: “If you are involved in diabetes footcare, join our network and become part of a new community dedicated to improving care and reducing amputations.
“We are passionate about raising the standards of diabetes footcare and believe this network will provide a much-needed platform to share the best ways of working across the country, pick up examples of best practice and provide a single voice for our community.”
In England, the development of sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) and the bids for NHS England Diabetes Fund for multidisciplinary diabetes footcare team (MDFT) transformation, with its focus on foot disease, has led to development of innovations in practice and new ways of working.
However, there was no robust mechanism for sharing these new ways of working across England and the wider UK, with developments and duplication of work occurring at regional levels among the 12 NHS England clinical networks, without their benefit being felt more widely.
In response, a scoping exercise was carried out by The College of Podiatry and Diabetes UK and the need for a national network was identified.
The first meeting of the English Diabetes Footcare Network was held in London at the College of Podiatry in March 2019.
The network is now launching an ambitious national improvement programme to drive up standards of diabetes footcare in England.
