Feet 👣 they come in all shapes and sizes, although most people don't like them, they are important, we need them to walk to help good mobility, so we should take care of their health even if we really don't like them

Many health conditions can and do have a direct impact on the foot - so why is this? Well..... if you have poor circulation or complex medical issues, then this can affect your extremities (feet) amongst other things and as such you are more likely to have much slower healing and increased risk of infections. So wounds and skin conditions might become a problem and can lead to other more serious issues if left untreated or mis-diagnosed

Having a foot health check at least annually if you are of more senior age is also a good idea, but everyone should take care of their feet, regardless of age

Of course, you don't need to have medical problems or even be diabetic to see a podiatrist, although I'm a foot specialist, really I mostly do lots of simple but thorough and safe routine foot treatments for lots of people, and I do this with the benefit of enhanced training and knowledge

However, if you are also diabetic this can increase the risk of developing problems, your 'risk' is based on a number of factors which I can assess and determine.

Some statistics:

It is estimated that around 5.8 million people in the UK are living with diabetes (www.diabetes.org) of this 4.6 million have been diagnosed with 1.3 million still undiagnosed. This is an all time high and growing year on year.

I have had some time working in the NHS podiatry service, so I have seen the difficulties and the NHS is stretched. Unfortunately I have been made aware of some recent reductions in their podiatry services leaving many people considered as being less at risk, but still needing care without an alternative. The NHS has a list of HCPC podiatrists/chiropodists who are fully trained which is recommended.
To search google "podiatrists near me" or go to the the NHS website * (see below) I am on this list.

At footpairfect podiatry I offer a private, affordable, reliable and comprehensive foot care service for all, not just for those with complex health issues who have complex feet too.

❗️So....If you have recently been discharged from the NHS podiatry service, I am based in South Street, Leven near Beverley. I'm easy to find and parking is free and nearby, plus you don't have to wait weeks to get an appointment.

✅️ I offer affordable foot care that is safe and can pick up potential problems in anyone I see before they become big problems

✅ ️I can perform an annual or earlier depending on 'risk' diabetic neurovascular foot assessments including additional assessments if deemed necessary. I can also refer directly to your GP for various treatments or other referrals and for those with diabetes can refer into the high risk foot team if required

✅️ I also have over 20 years experience in all manners of foot related conditions

✅️ If you are looking at finding someone to take care of your feet, or if you are concerned, give me a call on 07540071016

* Reminder *

Missing or cancelling last minute

If you forget your appointment or cancel at the last minute, it's ok, I do understand things go wrong, however you may have to wait for another appointment and unfortunately you may now be asked to pay unless you have a very good reason and I am always understanding.

One missed appointment is acceptable and I don't charge, but repeated missed appointments will now have to be chargeable.

The fact is, all missed appointments cost me money, and my business due to being medical based has significant fixed overheads and also large variable running costs. A fairly large % of every fee pays for the running of my clinic.

Many other businesses similar to mine that have similar issues have now been forced to implement a pre-pay system. I may have to follow suit.... 😥 I don't want to as this makes more work for me and I feel this is also unfair to the large majority of lovely people who do care about me, and also do offer or pay me when requested.

Thank you

Thick/brittle/discoloured nails similar to the picture below? It could be onychomycosis or 'fungal nails'

As a foot specialist I can perform a simple and accurate test in clinic. In fact the test has over 97% clinically proven accuracy to test for the presence of detmatophytes, the cause of many nail infections. It's fast and painless (takes about 5 minutes to get the result) and it's not expensive either

I can then advise you of all your options, and formulate a treatment plan if necessary. There are options, including medication which I can refer you for

Why test and treat? Well, it's contagious and can spread to other nails and other people

If caught early a simple topical treatment can be suitable. I can supply and sell a topical POM nail lacquer

I also treat a whole variety of other problems related to the lower limb

I don't just trim nails

To book a consultation call 07540071016

Just to note, I will be closed from 31 July 2025 for two weeks for my annual summer hols, so if you want to be seen before then please don't wait, to contact me, I do have some appointments available but they are limited

Thanks

Sarah

Interesting article

https://www.bbc.co.uk/future/article/20250321-how-often-should-you-wash-your-feet

Good foot hygiene - this means washing your feet with soap, and not just wetting them in the shower/bath. It is essential to prevent things like athlete's foot, and other skin infections from developing

Shoes harbour millions of different types of bacteria and fungi/yeast/moulds especially as they are worn without socks and most shoes don't go in the washing machine often or get cleaned. If you don't wear socks then they become a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi.

This is why wearing socks (which should be changed daily and hot washed) is essential in helping to prevent athlete's foot and fungal toenails.

I can always tell who washes their feet and who doesn't 😉........

Some people scrub them every day while others say letting water run over them in the shower is enough. So are you cleaning these important appendages enough?

Hello, and please let me introduce myself.

My name is Sarah Hepworth, I was born and bred in the town of Beverley and have lived in East Yorkshire all my life.

I am the owner of Footpairfect Podiatry in the village of Leven. You can find a bit more about me and what I do at www.footpairfectpodiatry.co.uk

I hold a BSc honours degree in Podiatric Medicine.

With over 19 years' of experience in providing safe, quality and pain-free foot care you're feet are in safe hands with me. I have worked mostly in private practice but have also spent some time working in the NHS with both diabetic and high risk patients. So I can say I have seen and treated 1000s of pairs of feet of all shapes and sizes over the years. I take great pride in my work and in helping people have healthier feet that are pain free and also look great too.

So.... if you don't know this, Podiatrists (and Chiropodists) are the only foot and lower limb practitioners or foot specialists who are regulated in the UK, where feet are concerned by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) What this means is accountability and a guarantee of a genuine qualification that can be proven.

I am also recognised by many health insurers too

This ensures all my foot treatments are safe and suitable for every single person I see and treat

I am a member of the Royal College of Podiatrists who I am insured with

You can find me listed on the NHS register of fully qualified practitioners who offer safe foot care.

So if you have feet in need of just some tlc from a quick tidy up before a holiday or perhaps have more complex problems, then give me a call.

I can help with the following:

✅️Correct nail trimming - avoiding (and treating) ingrowing nails or painful nails that tend to curve at the sides (involuted)

✅️Corns/calluses/heel fissures/dry skin/rashes and other annoying skin problems

✅️Thick-unsightly nails - fungal or damaged plus treatment options for fungal nails including the Lacuna Method
✅️ Verruca treatments

✅️ Heel/ball of foot/arch pain diagnosis and treatment

I can also supply/sell to my patients and administer a variety of medicaments which are prescription only or POMs to help treat common foot problems
I also refer to other health professionals ie write to your GP requesting tests or treatments

For enquiries call/text etc on 07540071016

Thank you, Sarah

POLITE NOTICE

I always do my best to offer appointments without a long waiting time

Unfortunately due to the ongoing non-attendance for appointments often booked several weeks ahead a minority simply don't attend and give me no notice or apology for this. I am now regrettably going to ask for full payment for all missed appointments from now on, UNLESS this is due to a genuine reason or at least I am informed of the reason for someone not attending.

Sadly a minority of people simply do not turn up for their appointment and then also for whatever reason then choose to ignore me when I attempt to contact them to politely inform them they've missed their appointment.

Thank you

Sarah
