I aim to provide a high quality, friendly and reliable podiatry and chiropody service for my patients.
Podiatrist or Chiropodist ?
A frequently asked question is what is the difference between a podiatrist and a chiropodist. The simple answer is that podiatry is a more up to date version of chiropody. A podiatrist can do everything a chiropodist can, and more.
Be sure to check that your podiatrist is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC).
For further information about the HCPC and to check my registration, please see the Web Links section below.
In order to maintain their registration with the HCPC, all podiatrists must be able to demonstrate that they are continually learning in order to keep their skills and knowledge up to date with current standards. You can check my registration status by clicking on the link below. I am also a member of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists. You can find further information about the society by visiting the link in the Web Links section below.
Treatments
Routine Treatment
A routine treatment will take approximately 45 minutes, depending on individual requirements. Please allow slightly longer for your first treatment which includes a consultation.
A full consultation is carried out. This ensures the podiatrist has a good understanding of medical history, medications and details of your foot/lower limb concerns.
All nails are tidied and shaped with any nail problems such as thickened, discoloured or ingrown nails treated. Any hard skin will be gently reduced and corns removed. Advice will be given on how to prevent future problems.
A treatment plan is then set in place to give the best care and agree appointments to address requirements.
You may find this service useful if you suffer from diabetes, as you may have been advised not to cut your nails yourself but find it difficult to access a nail cutting service through the NHS.
Verrucae Treatment - no longer available as treatment is not usually effective.
Home Visits - no longer available.
Foot Treatment Supplies (prices on request)
I am also able to supply a range of foot creams.
