The Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses is an organization formed by practicing Foot Care Nurses from across Canada.
COVID-19
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, CAFCN encourages all foot care nurses to reach out to their regulatory college, professional associations, and local health authorities when making decisions regarding their own individual nursing foot care practice.
CAFCN thanks all front-line workers for their dedication during this time, and wishes safety and health for all.

Resources
Nursing foot care is a practice that always considers our patients and clients holistic’s needs. We realize that we must practice as part of the greater health care team. Our care often intersects and overlaps the care given by other health professionals. To help us do this we draw on resources from a wide variety of other sources as well as our own to help us be valuable team members.
Goals
- Collaborate with health care professionals across Canada to promote optimal care and improve client outcomes
- Develop educational opportunities, national guidelines and a certification process for advanced nursing foot care.
- Promote public awareness of the benefits of foot care and of the role of a foot care nurse within the health care team.
- Facilitate the development and publication of clinical and research based articles related to the advancement of nursing foot care.
