A full MOT for your feet

Podiatry, Podiatric Medicine, Chiropody...Feet treated and made to feel wonderful


Podiatry is the evolution of Chiropody.

Podiatrists are experts in the lower limb. We can assess, diagnose and treat numerous conditions. It takes time to become a Podiatrist, 4 years in Scotland and 3 in England, resulting in a degree in Podiatric Medicine.

We are regulated by the Health Care Professions Council, have standards, regulations and criteria to meet to keep our registration. All our podiatrists are also members of the Royal College of Podiatry with the clinic also being accredited for our standard of care.


During an assessment a Podiatrist will perform numerous tasks:

  • Check you circulation

  • Inspect your skin for infections, abnormal lesions and check skin integrity

  • Assess medical history to assess general well being

  • Treat and assess numerous conditions

  • Create a treatment plan to prevent or reduce reoccurrence

  • Provide some prescription medications, such as Antibiotics if needed.

An initial first appointment is required by all our patients so that a thorough medical history can be taken as well as initial treatment and plan discussed, this can last around 1 hour for routine nail and skin care issues or 1 hour 20 minutes for pain and injury assessments. Follow up routine appointments for nail and skin care last between 20 and 40 minutes depending on the requirement of the individual patient, while pain and injury review appointments may last around 40 minutes. Sharp surgical blades are used during these appointments to debride hard skin or clear nails, with all our podiatrists having a great deal of experience using them in clinical practice.
