What is Routine Foot Care?
You would visit our Foot Health Practitioner for routine foot care if you have common skin conditions such as corns, calluses (hard skin) or infections such as athlete’s foot (fungal skin infection) warts or verrucae.
Foot Health Practitioners can also treat toenail complaints such as ingrown (non-surgical), fungal and thickened nails at a routine podiatry appointment.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
HISTORY
Your practitioner will take a full medical, medication & lifestyle history if you have never visited the clinic before, or review it if you have. All your information is taken in a private room and stored on our secure database for your privacy & security.
ASSESSMENT
Before any treatment, your practitioner will undertake a visual and sometimes physical examination to assess the cause of your condition and the treatment plan they will follow to achieve the best outcome.
TREATMENT
Once you and our practitioner are happy with the treatment plan, you will be treated in a clean environment, with sterile instruments (if needed) together with the latest technology so we can provide the highest standard of care in-line with evidenced based medicine.

TREATMENT
Once you and our practitioner are happy with the treatment plan, you will be treated in a clean environment, with sterile instruments (if needed) together with the latest technology so we can provide the highest standard of care in-line with evidenced based medicine.
We offer two key specialist treatments for stubborn skin and nail conditions:
Fungal Nails – Lacuna Method
This technique creates tiny micro-holes in the nail plate so antifungal medication can reach the nail bed, where the infection sits. It’s ideal for mild–moderate fungal infections and works best alongside a consistent home-care routine. Results take time as the nail grows out.
Verrucae – Verrutop
After gently removing the hard skin, Verrutop is applied directly to the verruca. Treatments are usually every two weeks, with most people needing around three sessions. It’s a gentle, targeted option with a strong success rate.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Simple conditions such as corns and calluses (hard skin) and minor nail complaints are treated in one session. Recurring conditions and those that need a treatment plan such as verrucae, fungal infections etc. often need regular treatment. The treatment regime is determined by your practitioner who will discuss this with you.

What Is The Difference Between A Foot Health Practitioner, a Chiropodist And A Podiatrist
Foot Health Practitioners and Podiatrists both support people with their foot health. When the title “Chiropodist” and “Podiatrist” became protected in 2005/6, the Foot Health Practitioner role was introduced.
Foot Health Practitioners are diploma-trained and focus on routine care such as nail trimming, corns, calluses, fungal issues, verrucae, and support for well-controlled diabetics. Some complete extra training or later move into podiatry.
Podiatrists are degree-trained, can work privately or in the NHS, and treat higher-risk patients. They can perform minor surgery, specialise in certain areas, and provide routine care. Many are registered with the HCPC.
