The inspiration for Happy Feet Footcare came from my 95 year old Grandma Gladys who through age and health issues struggled to confidently leave the confines of her home to see a Podiatrist and take care of her ageing feet. The sheer logistics of such a need encompassed organising appointments, taxis to and from a clinic as well as the worry of any treatment needed, even asking for a chaperone became a task in itself. With this in mind I investigated if these needs were being experienced by other people. My investigations highlighted that the NHS was sadly overstretched leaving a void for a private footcare providers to fill. My mind was made up and I studied to make Happy Feet Footcare a reality, a mobile foot clinic that would bring care back to those who needed it in the comfort of their own home. Lots of hard work resulting in a Diploma qualification from Stonebridge College, and a further Advanced Diploma qualification from The College of Foot Health Practitioners along with a genuine desire to educate, improve and care for the Borough's feet soon brought Happy Feet Footcare from passionate idea to successful business.
