Podiatry

Podiatry is primarily provided for people with diabetes whose foot health is at risk. This group includes people with sensory changes, malposition, circulation changes or wounds in their feet or who have had a lower limb, foot or toe amputated.

A referral is required for podiatry services. The referral is made by a doctor or nurse, and a podiatrist assesses the need for podiatry based on it. You can get a referral from your local health centre.
