We provide a specialised inpatient and outpatient podiatry service that manages acute foot complications secondary to diabetes. The service operates as part of an integrated Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) with support from diabetes and endocrine, vascular surgery, orthopaedic surgery, microbiology, interventional and MSK radiology, orthotics, and psychology.

Your first appointment

Please be prepared for your first appointment to take a little longer. During this appointment we will take a medical, social, psychological, and surgical history, combined with a detailed foot assessment. There may be several additional requirements including a measurement of your height and weight, baseline observations, MRSA screen, blood tests, X-rays, and photos of your foot. If you are prescribed a medication, this can only be obtained from the hospital pharmacy.

Please bring a list of any medications and let us know in advance if there are any barriers to communication or if you require additional support.
