We have 2 downstairs clinic rooms, however there are steps leading up to the property. We have a half step available and grab rails to assist. If you are concerned about mobility issues please do get in contact and we can advise according to your need. Please note, accessing the property in a wheelchair is not recommended but we can advise on alternative sites where wheelchair access is available.
All qualified podiatrists are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. You can check the register online: www.hpc-uk.org
Podiatrists and chiropodists do the same job. In the UK podiatry is simply the newer name for chiropody. The name was changed to podiatry in 1993 as it's the internationally recognised name for a foot specialist.
A first appointment usually takes between 30 - 45 minutes, follow up appointments usually last 30 minutes. Biomechanical assessments and nail surgery appointments are allocated more time.
Treatments for conditions such as hard skin, corns and problem nails are not painful, you can just put your feet up and relax.
It is best to come in your normal footwear so we can look at wear patterns and fit. If you struggle to get your own shoes and socks on and off don’t worry we can help.
If you experience pain during a particular activity it would be useful to bring the shoes along that you wear for that activity for example running shoes.
If you are having a biomechanical assessment it is best to wear loose fitting trousers as we will need to examine your lower legs.
It is useful to bring along a list of medical problems and any medication you are taking as this can help with diagnosis and treatment of your foot problems.
The cost depends on the treatment you require, contact the clinic for a full list of fees.
