If you are looking for mobile foot care whether it be a chiropodist , foot health professional or podiatrist in Weston-super-Mare and North Somerset there are a number of options available. If you are chair or bed-bound then it is possible to access the NHS service run by Sirona throughout North Somerset. Sirona only accept patients for toenail cutting deemed as ‘high risk’. High risk is defined by as: ‘people that have a foot problem combined with an underlying medical condition that is affecting the circulation or sensation in the lower leg or foot which may put them at risk of hospitalisation or amputation.” Sirona accept referrals solely from GPs, health visitors, community nurses, practice nurses and Allied Health Professional’s (AHPs).
Mobile Foot Care in Weston-super-Mare & North Somerset
For those that don’t meet the criteria and can’t get a referral then there is the option to use a private foot health professional (FHP) or podiatrist in Weston-super-Mare and North Somerset. A local mobile chiropodist, podiatrist or FHP offers the ideal solution, bringing expert care right to your doorstep. Even if you don’t meet the criteria then for many it’s difficult to access public transport to visit a fixed location practice. A mobile service is a useful alternativel option. Mobile foot care cuts out the stress and hassle of travel or waiting around in clinical rooms
The World Health Organisation defines mobile health (m-health_ as a ‘medical and public health practice supported by mobile devices, such as mobile phones, patient monitoring devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other wireless devices’. It’s great to make the best use of technology but of course none of these mobile health apps and high tech advances don’t solve the problem of getting your toenails cut! It’s starkly different to a friendly face coming to your own home to provide a professional physical service.
The Importance of Regular Foot Care
As we go through life, we often forget how important it is to care for our feet. Whether you are suffering from a common foot problem or have ongoing health conditions that affect your feet, professional foot care can make a significant difference in your overall well-being.
I work part-time for a leading charity for the elderly in their Somerset foot care clinic. The likes of Age UK provide clinics in Sonerset, but there are no foot care clinics in North Somerset. The NHS provides services for podiatry in Weston-super-Mare especially for diabetics but for those struggling with mobility issues and unable to access transport a mobile podiatrist, chiropodist or a foot health professional service is the pragmatic and convenient choice.
Ignoring foot problems can lead to complications, especially for those with underlying conditions including diabetes, arthritis, or circulatory issues. Left untreated, minor conditions can develop into more serious issues, requiring more extensive care or even surgery.
For individuals with diabetes, regular foot care is particularly critical. Diabetic patients are at a higher risk of foot ulcers, infections, and in severe cases, amputations. Regular appointments with a skilled professional can prevent complications and improve overall foot health.
My Mobile Foot Care Service
With busy schedules, limited mobility, or health concerns, many people struggle to make it to clinics for regular foot health appointments. That’s where a mobile foot care service comes in. Whether you need toenail trimming, diabetic foot healthcare, or treatment for a specific condition like fungal nails, corns, or verrucas, a mobile foot health professional provides a convenient and personalised approach.
