Podiatry Service
University Department of PodiatryWelcome to Podiatry
- The Podiatry Service provides triage, screening, assessment, diagnosis, treatment and foot health education to patients with a lower limb condition or a condition throughout your body that affects the lower limb.
- Our podiatry service focuses on the needs of the individual to support and enable self care where possible.
- Patients (and carers and family members) are involved in the development and delivery of treatment plans where appropriate.
- All our Podiatrists are registered by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) who ensure that staff meet their standards for training, professional behaviour and health.
What is Podiatry?

- Podiatrists specialise in the foot, ankle and leg, leading the patient care through the whole journey including prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
