With this beautiful weather, partnered with ‘feet coming out of hibernation’ and holiday season upon us, I am finding myself exceptionally busy. Due to the lack of routine NHS Podiatry service, myself and other private Podiatrists are now inundated with demand. There is no NHS service to residential/care homes/ mental health patients / blind/stroke/neurological patients etc etc this now all is covered by a private podiatrists.

To clarify what IS available to the public with regards to NHS podiatry:

- ingrowing toenail surgery/toenail removal
-woundcare (ie diabetic or other)
- MSK/orthotics/insoles (musculoskeletal podiatry - ie heel pain, plantar fasciitis, arthritic joints in foot, tendon strains in foot etc)

All of these services are available to the public on a self-referral basis - on your surgery website.

If you are unable to print the relevant forms off I can give you a hard copy on request for you to post.

Thank you to all my patients new, old and loyal, I am so grateful for your understanding whilst I try to navigate and deliver the best service to my patients.

I will be reviewing my pricing over the coming months in line with increasing national private Podiatry costings/services. This will inevitably mean a substantial increase in current prices, whilst I deliver the best service I can for my patients .

With well over 20 years experience in both the NHS and Private practice I feel I have a great deal to contribute to West Kilbride and the wider community with regards to footcare.

Please do not hesitate to contact me - should you have any concerns with your feet, whatever the reason I will do my best to see you or redirect you to where you need to be seen.

Kind regards

An ankle sprain is one of the most common lower limb musculoskeletal injuries experienced, especially in the physically active. Up to 70% of people will experience this in their lifetime.

There can be differing degrees of ankle sprain, therefore your recovery time depends on the degree of injury you sustain. Recovery can take anything from a few weeks to several months.

Recurrence of this injury is very common, especially in the first year following the first injury.
