Foot Health Service - Newham
The core purpose of the Foot Health Service is to deliver an increasingly evidence-based service to the residents of Newham, aimed at reducing foot problems, maintaining or improving mobility and reducing pain through treatment and education in a cost effective manner at appropriate times to patients.
The service aims to provide high quality intervention for those individuals considered to be at greatest risk of developing foot health complications, as a result of complex medical history and podiatric needs.
The service objectives are to:
- Improve the clinical outcomes of residents of Newham, with lower limb and foot health needs. Enabling them a better quality of life.
- Provide a foot health service, working alongside other health and social care services that improve the quality of care for Newham residents with foot health need – aligned to best practice and national guidelines.
- Provide clinical interventions that reduce the debilitating effects of long-term conditions and other illnesses on foot health, thereby promoting greater independence and mobility.
The Foot Health Service has specialist clinics including musculoskeletal, nail surgery, diabetic foot ulcers and run a daily triage assessment clinic. We are involved in multi-disciplinary clinics and ward rounds with vascular and diabetes consultants, which take place at Newham University Hospital.
