Upon booking, or prior to booking the Elite Foot Health representative will have explained the following:

All appointments booked are legally binding by both the practitioner and the patients or the patient’s carer with Parental Rights or Power of Attorney. You have a responsibility to notify Elite Foot Health of any cancellations in a timely manner, cancellations made within 24 hours of the agreed appointment time will be subject to full payment and the patient is made aware of this upon booking, the patient will be made aware of this at the first instance of booking and any further bookings will be subject to this charge. Patients are made aware upon making the booking to allow for extra time around the appointment start and finish time, as the Foot Health Practitioner’s visit patients homes they sometimes are subject to unavoidable delays and the practitioner cannot be held accountable for any possible delays whilst conducting home visits, but shall may efforts to avoid any delays to start and finish times of the appointments in the calendar day they are booked for. The patient is made aware that in the unlikely event that they suffer a minor injury, such as a cut, during treatment, there are some simple precautionary steps that ought to be taken to prevent infection. The patient, or the patient’s carer with Parental Rights or Power of Attorney, is made aware that it is possible that the injury could become more serious unless they take appropriate care. Any such incident will always be recorded at the time. The patient, or the patient’s carer with Parental Rights or Power of Attorney, agrees that if they feel that there has or may have been any injury as a result of a treatment then they will ensure that they notify the practitioner at the time and will seek the practitioners advice on any aftercare precautions that may be necessary. If the patient, or the patient’s carer with Parental Rights or Power of Attorney, is in any doubt as to whether they have suffered an injury, they will consult the practitioner. The patient, or the patient’s carer with Parental Rights or Power of Attorney, accepts that if they do not notify the practitioner at the time, then it may be impossible to identify the cause of an infection and too late to take simple precautionary steps. The practitioner will not be responsible for the consequences of a failure by a patient, or the patient’s carer with Parental Rights or Power of Attorney, to immediately notify any possible injury, or of failure to raise any complaint during the appointment, once the appointment has concluded it may be impossible to determine the cause of any complaint a patient, or the patient’s carer with Parental Rights or Power of Attorney, has, and the patient is made aware of this upon booking the appointment and at the start of the first appointment; this statement is true for the remainder of the patients relationship with Elite Foot Health.

During the order process, we will generally notify you of the dispatch dates available and the expected timeframe for receiving your order. However, Elite Foot Health does not guarantee delivery dates or times, we can only guarantee Dispatch dates. We will make you aware of delivery charges (if any) before you place your order.
