Our 3rd speaker of the morning is Meg Colley, Podiatrist from the Podiatry Service at Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust. Meg is explaining what would be included in High, Moderate and Low Podiatric need when it comes to the referral process for the Team.

Meg talks about how footwear plays an important role in the maintenance of foot health. Poorly fitting shoes, for example those which are too narrow or too large can lead to discomfort, injury or even permanent deformity or ulceration. Explaining the main purpose of shoes is to protect your feet, preventing injuries from trauma or from slips, trips and falls also how footwear influences balance and the risk of slips, trips and falls by altering the physical support and sensory feedback from the ground. She explains how your feet change shape and size throughout the day but also changes as you age; consequently shoes which fitted you a several years ago, may not be suitable for you now.
