Thank you for taking the time to write your message. I can see it has clearly been a long and difficult time for you. I hope that you have found the podiatry staff helpful and caring. As a person living with a long term condition we would value your opinion on how we might improve the service for our users. I think your message reminds us that living with a long term condition has a tremendous impact on the lives of those receiving our care. I wish you better health and best wishes for the future.
