The Podiatry Service helps people with foot and lower limb conditions that may affect their health, comfort or mobility. The service focuses on preventing serious complications, relieving pain and helping people remain active and independent. This includes support for people with long-term conditions such as diabetes and circulatory problems that can affect foot health.

About the team

The service is delivered by registered podiatrists with specialist expertise in foot health and operates Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm excluding Bank Holidays.

Treatment may take place in local clinics or, when appropriate, in a patient's home.
