Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if Podiatry is the right thing for me?

A Podiatrist is an allied health professional that specialises in the assessment, diagnosis, prevention, management and treatment of the lower limb (generally regarded as specialists in foot and ankle conditions). To qualify as a Podiatrist you have to undertake a three year full-time degree in Podiatric Medicine and complete 1000 hours of supervised clinical practice. Podiatrists are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council.

What happens at my Podiatry appointment?

Following booking your appointment, we firstly require a new patient form to be completed, which will include medical history and any medication you are currently taking. This can be completed prior to the appointment, also, if you have any questions do save them for the podiatrist.
The podiatrist will ask questions prior to any treatment being given, and if applicable, discuss the treatment options available. Treatment will not be undertaken until you have given consent.
Dependent on your individual needs, a variety of different pieces of diagnostic equipment and tests may be used.
Treatment can often commence during your initial assessment; however, this depends on the presenting issue.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

If you have not already completed the secure, online new patient form, please bring a full list of any medication you are currently taking and any information related to your issue. If you are having routine nails care and wearing nail varnish, please remove it prior to your appointment.
If you are arriving with an injury or for sporting purposes, please bring 2-3 pairs of regularly worn footwear. If you wear insoles or orthotics, please also bring these with you to your appointment.

What is your cancellation policy

Appointments will not be refunded if cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. If appointments are cancelled with more than 24 hours notice, the appointment will either be rescheduled or refunded in full.
