We are pleased to recognize Arinda Bothe, CFCS, who is now providing certified foot care services in Johannesburg, South Africa. With nearly 30 years of experience serving communities in and around Johannesburg, Ms. Bothe has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to professional excellence and patient-centered care.
Several years ago, she connected with AFCNA to seek guidance in advancing professional recognition for her work. The pursuit of professional recognition is a shared priority among foot care nurses both internationally and throughout the United States. AFCNA remains dedicated to supporting this important objective by promoting standards, advocacy, and professional development within the specialty.
Looking for professional, clinically-based foot care? Did you know that certified nurses can provide this care in many settings, including your home?
AFCNA members are experienced nurses who can help with routine foot care. Thick toenails and rough calluses, pressure areas and misshapen toes can be managed comfortably by a foot care nurse. While regular visits to a primary doctor and a podiatrist are recommended, routine issues can be easily managed by a certified foot care specialist.
