NHS Podiatry Service

The Podiatry Service assesses, diagnoses and treats a wide range of health problems affecting people’s feet and lower limbs. These may include in-growing toenails, sports injuries, foot ulcers, severe sepsis, severe foot deformities or functional problems.

Access to the service is determined by a patient’s level of need and the extent to which any medical conditions (eg diabetes) put the foot at risk of serious complications, such as losing the limb. Referrals accepted into the service are likely to include people who have diabetes, weakened immunity, peripheral vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy or severe foot deformity. To make a referral use the Single Point of Access form available on the website.
