Patients in Lincolnshire can now self-refer to NHS Podiatry services without the need for a GP or nurse referral.
This will be of most use to patients with:
• long-term conditions (eg diabetes) who need occasional podiatric treatment but are then discharged from the service
• prevent, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate abnormal conditions of the feet and lower limbs
• prevent and correct deformity, keep people mobile and active, relieve pain and treat infections.
Referral forms are available below to download or via the
NHS Podiatry website Exclusions are personal foot care (toenail and skin care) in healthy adults, verrucas and low risk problems seen by a podiatrist in the last six months.
