| Chiropody and Podiatry |
| Sue Thomason BSc, DPoD MChS |
Sue is a HPC (Health Professions Council) registered Podiatrist and a member of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists. After qualifying from the Northern College of Chiropody in 1990 Sue joined the NHS where she continues to work part time.
During her career in the NHS Sue has been both community and hospital based, developing a special interest in the preventative care and treatment of the high risk foot and specifically wound care. Regular foot health assessments are important for people with conditions that put the feet at risk eg diabetes, rheumatologic problems or vascular disease. Early diagnosis and preventative treatments can be offered to reduce long term complications in the foot. Sue offers annual foot health assessments for the high risk foot and treatment plans to reduce the risk of any future foot problems.
Sue offers routine podiatry care including assessment and treatment of foot pathologies including nail problems, the treatment of corns and callus and the provision of devices or insoles with the aim of reducing symptoms.
Nail surgery is sometimes required for persistent ingrown toe nails. This is performed under local anaesthetic and is a permanent cure.
Biomechanical assessments include assessment of the foot and joint mobility, gait analysis and the provision of insoles to improve foot function and alleviate symptoms.
Sue appreciates that sometimes a full podiatry treatment it not necessary and nail cutting may be all that is required. . To satisfy this need, shortened appointment are available for ‘simple nail cuts’. A full assessment will be required initially to ensure this is appropriate, then reduced time/price appointments will be offered.
