Sorry to hear of your case, but I think it was unwise for you to go to these lengths. This may not be what you want to hear and I can understand you wanting the practice to be protected and not just the titles. BUT, you should understand that the more regulation/law there is, the more it is used (abused) against an unsuspecting member of the public and therefore we should all try to have less regulation/laws. You have just experienced this. Less regulation and laws gives more freedom to the average citizen.

If you cease registration from the HCPC you can lawfully use the title providing you make it expressly clear that you are no longer registered in a publicly accessible notice. You must not claim or infer that you are still registered in any way. The definitive case hearing will take place in the near future at the Court of Appeal. Will post details of the hearing shortly.

Best wishes.

Can we come away from the HCPC and still legally call ourselves Pods etc? Thanks. Nick

Maybe we’ll see a new bunch in the near future and it would be good if they could learn from past mistakes, but from the various articles the current bunch have published, it would seem a forlorn hope. We’d be struck off if we practised like that. All the best – Mark

i have deregistered due to an awful time over allegations that destroyed me of which i was not guilty, and as my Mh was ignored as were my disabilities, ( EA 2010), i refused to be struck off for alleged crimes i did not commit. So i de-registered, but have always stated that i obtained my degree in 1998 and therefore i will use it when i return to work it’s mine and as long as i am not misleading the public etc.
i am very glad you have argued this and i will support you any way i can etc, i call myself a Footologist this being someone who has the necessary training and qualification ( ie BSc Pod) but does not call themselves a HCPC podiatrist to their patients.
Maybe we need to have this title registered.
