If this is your first time here and you would like to be one of our new service users, please read the following, thoroughly.

At your initial appointment, it is our standard practice to trim and file your toe nails, remove any hard skin (callus) followed by a suitable foot cream application to soothe your feet, for that brand new feeling.

We require every new client to fill out a patient treatment record form to provide basic medical history and details of any current or prior prescribed medication that is or has been taken.

We collect certain data from you to meet mandatory requirements regarding medical notes. This is a legal requirement.

​

We safely store medical notes for a period of time after treatment may cease. This can vary in length depending on your age and ability to consent, usually for a minimum of 7 years by UK Law.

Your details will be destroyed after this period and you'll receive a confirmation.

These records are strictly private and confidential.

At your initial appointment, rest assured that your feet will be examined by our qualified Foot Health Practitioner for a complete analysis to meet your needs, including a neuropathy test on the sole of your feet plus, to reiterate, to trim and file your toe nails, to remove any hard skin (callus) followed by a suitable foot cream, for that newly minted feeling.
