"First-class foot fix"

About: NHS Western Isles / Podiatry

(as a service user),

Last week, I experienced exemplary MSK podiatry care after self-referring to the local Podiatry service for advice on persistent foot pain.  The Podiatrist really listened to the impact of the pain on my usually active lifestyle, and took time to thoroughly assess potential causes. The upshot: on the same day as my appointment, the Podiatrist and Radiographer had diagnosed the cause of the pain, and I was provided with a Podiatry rehab programme to help me reduce the impact of the pain.  This allowed me to take ownership of managing my foot issues and has avoided the need for multiple diagnostic appointments.  Thank you for such a high quality, coordinated service.
