COMMUNITY PODIATRY SERVICE

The Community Podiatry Service covers the whole of the North Cork Area

The Community Podiatrist treat a range of foot conditions including thickened/ distorted nails, skin problems such as corns and callus, biomechanical/ gait problems and foot ulcer management. They also undertake regular screening and assessment of high risk conditions such as Diabetes, Rheutomoid Arthritis or Peripheal Vascular Disease

Access to the Podiatry Service is by referral from a Healthcare Professional such as a GP, Public Health Nurse or Physiotherapist. The focus is on those with the greatest foot health need.

Referrals are then prioritised and placed on a waiting list where people who are higher risk are given priority.
