Patients can be referred to us by your GP, a health professional or you can make a self referral.
Once we receive your referral form, we will contact you to arrange an initial assessment appointment with a specialist podiatrist.
Depending on your assessment, you may be offered a package of treatment. We will write back to your GP to inform them of the outcome of your assessment and any ongoing care.
