Health and Social Care Professionals Act 2005 (Section 95(3)) (Variation of Title: Chiropodist) Regulations 2022

Are there standards for the profession arising from the legislation or is that separate work for the organisation that organises chiropodists? If someone goes in for an appointment and it lasts ten minutes while another person goes in for an hour, they will still be charged the same amount. Again, I have no experience in this area but I am told that some practices operate like factories and just churn out patients. I assume there are standards within the profession. You also learn not to go back to that individual.
