| EPA(UK) |
| I am a member of the Equine Podiatry Association (UK), a self-regulating professional body for Equine Podiatrists practising in the UK. |
| The organisation works hard to ensure that its members work to a strict code of conduct and maintain a high standard of professional competence. This is achieved through a rigorous programme of continuous professional development, training and peer support. It also regulates its members and ensures that any issues that a client may have regarding their EP can be investigated thoroughly and objectively by independent experts. |
