NHS Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS Scarborough and Ryedale CCG; the organisations responsible for procuring the majority of health care services in the area, are reaching out to the local community to help them shape and improve local Community Podiatry services.
Community Podiatry Services provide assessment, diagnosis and treatment of disease and conditions affecting the foot and lower limb.
Foot and lower limb problems are common and are a significant cause of ill health, pain and disability and can lead to impaired balance increasing the risk of falling. It is estimated that 80% of older people have foot related problems and in an ageing society the prevalence of chronic foot problems will rise significantly.
We place patients at the centre of their own care and we want to create forward thinking, innovative solutions which will help to meet the needs of our patients. If you have previously attended the Podiatry services locally, we would like to hear from you about your experience to help us to shape how these services will look in the future.
