Helen Rawse – England North & Chair CoFH Council
HelenR@cofh.org.uk
I live and work in and around Dronfield near Sheffield. I work domiciliary, in a clinic run by a Podiatrist and have my own garden clinic. I qualified with The Institute of Chiropodists and Podiatrists in 2012. I was previously secretary to the Sheffield branch for a number of years and look forward to my new role as England North FHP Council Representative.
Steve Clarke – England South
Steve@cofh.org.uk
Since graduating as a FHP, I have worked hard to further my knowledge and experience in foot care, working alongside Podiatrists and attending multiple CPD courses. This allowed me to achieve my Higher Diploma in foot care.
I have a real passion for foot health and work very hard to provide my patients with the highest level of foot care. It is this passion and drive that has inspired me to stand as a voice for other FHP’s, as well and assist student FHP’s, where possible, on their journey to becoming high quality foot practitioners.

My goal is to raise awareness, provide exceptional care, and advocate for better resources and support for foot health professionals in our region.
