The Board has developed a DRAFT policy for registered podiatrists re: assistants in podiatry practice. Given that podiatrists are vicariously liable for the conduct of employees, the Board is preparing this policy as a guide to the profession on the role responsibilities of the practitioner and the assistant, and tasks which may or may not be delegated to assistants.
Comment is sought from the profession on this DRAFT policy which can be accessed by clicking on the following link: View DRAFT Policy. (NOTE: as this policy has now been finalised and adopted the draft document referred to herein is no longer available. Refer to Publications - Other Guidelines/Policies to view a copy of the finalised policy adopted by the Board.)
