Are you an NHS Podiatry/Chiropody patient?

Contact me if you’re unable to get an appointment with NHS Podiatry/Chiropody and would like to pay for treatment privately.

Footrespect have no waiting list and we’re local.

In the Covid aftermath, much NHS Podiatry/Chiropody was suspended. The NHS do excellent podiatry/chiropody work if you can access it so I urge you to still fight for it if you qualify.

The process to access free NHS Podiatry/Chiropody care is lengthy. Firstly, you need an appointment with a GP who will consider whether your situation is a medical necessity. If so, the GP will refer you to NHS Podiatry/Chiropody. Non-life-threatening cases take an average of 12 weeks to be seen. Appointment times are sometimes disappointingly short and treatment basic, which you may feel is inadequate for your needs. Further appointments are not guaranteed.

Whilst I love the NHS and have great respect for its clinicians, the system is under serious pressure of all kinds, which inevitably impacts on us, the general public.

If you are a current NHS Podiatry/Chiropody patient, I urge you to fight hard to remain one. State your reasons to them clearly which will probably suffice to ensure you continue receiving free treatment. If this doesn’t work however, and you’d like to resolve your foot issues more quickly, please get in touch.

My mum has been suffering with a painful small toe since June. The doctor gave her antibiotics to no avail. Yesterday she went to see Ola who was gentle, caring and efficient in the removal of a huge corn on her toe. She is finally pain free and not limping anymore. Excellent 5 star treatment.
Response from the owner: Glad mum's out of pain now, Rebecca. I'm stumped why antibiotics ever came into it?... We also had a good laugh whilst she was in - lol!

Visited Ola a few times now and every time I have left with new feet 😁. I did have an ingrowing nail and although painful, she solved the issue and I now have a foot I can walk on without wincing in pain.A great listener and an all round very nice woman who I'd recommend to anyone who needs their nails doing, properly.
Response from the owner: Aw, mate. So pleased it works for you. Enjoy DDay events today. Love to all at home, incl doggie. xx

Exceptional service, treatment and advice.Couldn't recommend highly enough - brilliant.Went to see Ola with my husband, regarding a problem with his feet.Ola conducted a detailed and thorough assessment of his signs and symptoms, related to what could only be described as 'vague, intermittent, excruciating pain' on the ball of his foot.He is a poor historian when trying to explain the pain he felt but despite this Ola was able to reproduce the exact 'feeling' of the pain, and diagnose the issue.He had prompt treatment, a thorough explanation of the issue and how to prevent the same thing happening again.Ola is a highly skilled, empathetic clinician who is able to put people at their ease, ask to right questions to get a great outcome and explain medical issues in an easy to understand way.THANK YOU Ola - we'll definitely be back if either of us ever has problems with our feet in the future.
Response from the owner: My pleasure, Gill. I was dead interested in the intermittent nature of his pain, especially during ski-ing. And I enjoyed prodding and poking to replicate it! I'm so pleased it feels resolved. xx

Had a great appointment with Ola today, after being recommended by family (she’s been looking after my grandfather’s feet for years!). The appointment was informative & friendly & I was made to feel totally relaxed. I’ll have no hesitations in going back if I needed to & would highly recommend Ola!

Ola is a naturally kind and welcoming person and an excellent podiatrist who takes great pride in her work.She is very knowledgeable and thorough and caters every session to your personal requirements. She is also careful to avoid causing any discomfort to you during the treatment. Not only will she make your feet feel so much better, she also gives excellent leg massages too. I find my sessions in her clean and calm treatment room to be very soothing and I feel like I’m walking on air afterwards.
