Podiatry FAQs: Your Questions Answered

You can book an appointment directly with us without a referral from your GP.

If you've been referred by your GP, consultant or another healthcare professional, you're welcome to bring any relevant letters or reports with you.

In the past, we have found it useful for private medical insurance clients to check with their insurer whether a referral is required to be covered under their policy.

Please bring:

• Any relevant medical information or referral letters 
• A list of your current medications (if applicable) 
• Any orthotics or insoles you currently wear 
• Footwear you wear regularly (particularly for musculoskeletal or gait assessments) 

If you're attending for foot or ankle pain, wearing loose-fitting clothing that allows us to assess your lower legs can also be helpful.

Appointment times vary depending on the treatment you require.

Most routine appointments last 30 minutes, while specialist assessments and treatments such as MSK assessments or nail surgery may take 45–60 minutes. 

The duration of each appointment is shown on our Treatments & Pricing page.
