DIABETIC ASSESSMENT/ANNUAL FOOT REVIEW
£50
Diabetic clients can have an increased risk of infection and ulceration, and therefore it is advised to be seen by a Podiatrist annually at a minimum.
The Podiatrist will provide a diabetic foot assessment to monitor any loss of sensation and check the blood circulation in your feet. The condition of your skin and nails, and your foot structure and function will also be checked. Your footwear will also be assessed.
The Podiatrist will help you to look after your feet and reduce the risk of infection and ulceration. Documentation and a letter with results will be supplied for your GP (with your consent).
ORTHOTICS/INSOLES
CHOICES OF ORTHOTICS RANGE FROM £40
INSOLES FROM £20
Specialist insoles can bring comfort and cushioning to your footwear. An orthotic is an in-shoe device which is designed to redistribute the body’s weight across the whole of the sole of the foot and therefore correct irregular walking patterns. The wearing of an orthotic is a commitment in same way glasses are worn to correct vision. They are effective in reducing pain and often reduce the amount of hard skin formation.

Please see the Royal College of Podiatry's video below on 'What are Orthotics?' for further information.
NAIL SURGERY (PARTIAL/TOTAL NAIL AVULSION)
Nail Surgery is usually performed for ingrown toenails, if conservative measures have not succeeded in resolving this problem. It provides alleviation of pain from an ingrowing or deformed nail, you will feel more comfortable when wearing shoes, it prevents infection associated with ingrowing toenails (no need for antibiotics anymore).
We pride ourselves on being able to offer this surgery at short notice (following an initial consultation and agreement to the treatment plan). This is very helpful as NHS waiting times for surgery can be long and do not include dressings and aftercare.
There are alternate treatments to Nail Surgery which are non-surgical, and available as a regular podiatry appointment.
The cost of Nail Surgery is from £450 per toe (additional toes - £50 each). These fees include post-operative dressing appointments (maximum 6), and the dressing pack.
​
Please note, a New Client Consultation appointment is necessary before booking Nail Surgery.
​
A deposit will be taken on booking Nail Surgery.
