      Assessment

      At your first visit you will be asked what your concerns are regarding your feet and a medical history will be taken along with an overall assessment of the feet. If you require subsequent visits I will check that your medical history is up to date and continue to monitor your foot health.

      *THIS INFORMATION IS NOW BEING TAKEN OVER THE PHONE OR VIA EMAIL BEFORE YOUR VISIT.

      Treatment

      Once we have discussed what is required, I will carry out the appropriate treatment. If desired, a foot cream or heel balm will be applied at the end of your treatment. I can also make devices to offload pressure, e.g. silicon moulds to help separate toes.

      If you prefer not to see me at this time...

      Foot care advice – a few tips

       

      • Try to check your feet regularly (daily if you have Diabetes) to look for any changes.

       

      • Keep the skin dry between your toes to help keep the skin intact.

       

      • Moisturise the skin on your feet (except between your toes) with foot cream or heel balm (this will help keep this area of skin intact). Filing dry or hard skin will also help.
       
      • If you suffer with corns, do what you can to offload pressure by wearing properly fitting shoes, non-medicated corn pads or other padding to minimise pressure and friction.
       
      • If you get corns between your toes, do what you can to keeps toes apart by wearing well-fitting shoes, toe spacers and keeping the area between your toes dry.
       
      • File nails to help prevent them getting too long or uncomfortable, if you or someone else is in your household are able.
       
      • If your nails put pressure on the skin when they get to a certain length, try filing or easing the skin away from the nail. Soaking them or wearing a toe cap might help as well as wearing shoes that do not put pressure on the toes.
       
      • If you do use any devices for your toes/feet remember to remove them at night.
       
      • If you notice signs of infection such as pain, redness, heat, pus etc, try using a warm salted foot soak but seek your GPs advice if this does not solve the problem as you may need antibiotics.
       
      • While you are stuck at home, try exercising your feet while sitting down by wiggling your toes and pointing and lifting your feet (if you are able).
       
      • If you develop foot pain or other changes in your feet, it is important not to ignore them. Diabetes UK www.diabetes.org.uk also has some useful information on looking after your feet.

      • I will be wearing PPE before entering (apron, mask and shield). Gloves will be put on for treatment. Where possible I will knock/ring bell, step back and say hello so that you can see my face before then putting on the mask and shield.

    • HEALTHY FEET screening questions

      *Track and Trace/NHS Covid 19 app

      In the eventuality that I (the practitioner) get symptoms of Covid-19 within 48hrs of having close contact with you during an appointment and then later test positive, I am obliged under law to provide your name, telephone number or email and the date and time of your visit to the test and trace service. Please note that by attending the appointment you give consent for this.

      Have you or a member of your household

      • been diagnosed with Covid 19 in the last 14 days?
      • had any Covid 19 symptoms in the last 14 days? (a new cough, high temperature, loss/change of taste)
      • been in contact with anyone else who is suspected of having Covid 19 or has had Covid 19 in the last 14 days?
      • travelled abroad in the last 14 days?

      If the answer is yes to any of the questions then the appointment cannot go ahead.

      These pre-screening questions and procedures are to keep both you and myself safe. Patients need to have been practising social distancing and understand that even with all our health and safety procedures in place I cannot guarantee you will not be exposed to Covid 19.

       

      Just as we regularly visit the dentist, hygienist and opticians, we also need to consider our feet, particularly those who are getting older, are less mobile or are experiencing

      problems or concerns about their feet.

      Healthy feet help us to get the most out of life!
