Health Communication

Welcome to ConsultingFootPain

Progress through the art of communication

Welcome to this free health site, which offers advice from professional authors supported by Busypencilcase Communications & Publications. However, this site is more than just a resource for foot health.

BPCC encourages people to write about their experiences and has produced several books, including contributions, since 2017. Although the books are predominantly based around podiatry, health is not exclusively about feet.

To avoid confusion, David uses Tollafield for this site and Blyth for fiction.

ConsultingFootPain is a free resource health information site 

If you are concerned about your foot problem, please consult a registered podiatrist, GP or Foot Health Practitioner registered with the Institute of Podiatrists. This site provides access to professionally written information for all readers, is independent, and is not associated with any professional bodies.  David supports the Institute of Podiatry and the Royal College of Podiatry, together with universities offering podiatry courses, and has also taken part in career programmes.

ConsultingFootPain offers impartial information without the promotion of products other than recommended sources. The opinions expressed in articles are those of the editor/authors alone. ConsultingFootPain was set up to provide information for everyone. Good foot health can make a difference in your life. Making academic material more comprehensive, dissecting away myths, fables, and fiction, and encouraging reader feedback hopefully will support readers and drive new queries and articles. Please respond using the contact and comments forms.

While David was a former NHS consultant and podiatric surgeon, he is no longer available for face-to-face consultations. This site will only respond to people seeking genuine help and does not provide legal advice.  

Latest Book

David's passion is writing accessible books at pocket-sized prices. His latest book is A Complete Patient's Guide to Bunion Problems (Published January 2025 and available on Amazon as an eBook, paperback and hardback).

Writing with the reader's trust in mind

As a retired podiatrist by profession, a former lecturer, and a medical health science writer by passion, I believe reflective health communication and education are not just about writing complicated reviews and research for professionals but also about making health knowledge accessible to the general public. Always share information to help others, as this author believes quality information must be trustworthy.

BPCC was established in 2015.
