VP. Verrucae. Foot gremlins.

Small, persistent, mildly eldritch horrors caused by human papillomavirus. They enter through microscopic trauma in the epidermis, sit comfortably in keratinised tissue and largely evade immune recognition. No dramatic infection. Just a quiet occupation.

They are hardy. HPV can persist within the stratum spinosum and granulosum, protected by thickened skin. Burned, frozen, sliced, smothered. Sometimes they recur as if nothing happened. The plantar surface becomes a low-grade battleground.

Occasionally they resolve spontaneously when the immune system finally mounts a response. For others, they linger. Painful under load. Structurally disruptive. Socially inconvenient.

Over-the-counter treatments have variable success. Salicylic acid works if used properly and persistently. Many people stop too soon. If you are currently sealed in duct tape and hope, you are not alone.

At Valley Road Podiatry, management is targeted and evidence-based.

Assessment to confirm true VP versus callus or other lesion.
Debridement to reduce viral load and improve treatment pe*******on.
Verutop application in suitable cases.
Controlled caustic chemocautery where indicated.
Dry needling to stimulate a localised immune response in persistent lesions.
Structured follow-up rather than reactive treatment.

Treatment for VP, including acute intervention and a follow-up appointment, inclusive of initial assessment, is £32.

I remember when I first introduced Sunday clinics.

It felt novel at the time. A quiet couple of hours for people who struggled with other days. A chance for me to rummage through Overgate charity shop in my never-ending quest for art deco furniture.

Then came the overflow patients.

At the time it felt accidental.
“How am I busy enough to need an overflow clinic?”

Now I’m staring at the diary, looking at a fully booked Sunday, back to back. What was once novelty is now routine practice.
So too is my very deliberate scheduling of a lunch break, purely to protect time for a charity shop dive.

Truth be told, Sundays were boring anyway.

At Valley Road Podiatry, a firm belief is held that good healthcare practice is forged in public health.

Podiatry sits on the front line far more than many people realise. From limb loss prevention, ulcer care and infection management through to biomechanics, mobility and long term function. The era of being seen as glorified nail technicians is long behind us.

Over the last year, the practice has operated on a condensed clinic schedule while I have been working further afield in South Yorkshire within NHS services. That experience has been demanding, grounding, and professionally stretching. It has reinforced exactly why public health matters, and why high quality podiatry access matters locally.

I am now moving into a post closer to home.

As a result, I am pleased to announce that from Monday 26 January, Valley Road Podiatry will be expanding its opening times to include weekday evenings.

This change is about accessibility, sustainability, and continuing to deliver clinically robust care that sits comfortably between public health values and private practice delivery.

Evenings are coming.

The diary for the weekend is filling up.

Something that often strikes me is the pattern in how people present.

Some days leave me with a sense of déjà vu. Each person through the door with roughly the same problem as the last.

It is that time of year. People get back into the swing of things. New walking boots appear.

“I think I’ve got an ingrown toenail. I bought some new shoes a couple of weeks ago and it’s been really painful since.”

A good walking boot is not about brand. It is about your feet. Everybody’s feet are unique.

Things to check when buying walking boots:

A full lacing structure so you can adjust fit properly

Adequate room in the toe box, both width and depth

No hard or prominent inner seams or linings

No rubbing, pinching or pressure points when walking

A secure heel without lift

Enough room to accommodate foot swelling later in the day

If you are buying a new pair soon, plan to spend a good few hours in the shop. Walk around. Go up and down inclines. Treat it like you are prepping for Everest.

You only get one proper chance to test them before you buy. Use it.

’Tis Saturday.

The skies are clear. That pale winter light filters through the branches while I make quiet preparations for the day ahead.....

It’s bloody freezing. Much more of this and I’ll be swapping scrubs for a thermal body suit.

Doors open at 11.
The kettle will be warm.
The radiators will be glowing like the sun.

For those who’ve wandered past and wondered why the shutters have not pulled up for the twilight clinic: rest.........Well-deserved rest, fuelled by the tail end of a virus straight out of the hell mouth and the knowledge that two inches of snow looks like a racing avalanche to most Brits with a day ahead of them.

Now mostly recovered and comfortably past the point of being contagious, I’ll be running a full clinic tomorrow, all day into the evening.

Doors open Sunday as normal.

Tea. Coffee. Central heating. Sass.
And yes, podiatry too.

Normal service resumes. Feet may proceed accordingly.

04/01/2026

Sunday clinic is open this afternoon and evening.

Mostly full, with a little space left.
It’s warm inside. There’s good coffee, hot drinks, and a calm, unhurried atmosphere. A proper reset before the week kicks the door in.

If you’ve previously parked foot care worries around being judged, rushed, or overcharged, consider that Water firmly under the bridge. Feet tell stories. They’re not on trial.

Things we do
Nail surgery
Routine care. Corns, callus, knobbly bits and general foot nonsense
MSK and biomechanics
Orthotics
Referral where appropriate
Injury rehabilitation
Complementary therapies where they actually help, not just look nice on a menu

Things we don’t do
Make assumptions about people or their feet
Treat complexity like an inconvenience
Add a surcharge for having lived a full, load-bearing life

Calm care, fair pricing and no judgement.

The New Year has arrived.

So have the calls from those of us who forgot our feet existed during the strange twilight between Christmas and New Year, where time melts and trousers become optional.

A clinic will be running this evening.
Friday, for anyone still unsure what day or even year it is. I have checked. Several times.

Tomorrow is a day of rest.
Doors closed. Lights off. Practitioner horizontal.

Sunday clinic running from midday.

Tea, coffee, and other hot beverages available on arrival, because civilisation matters.

Let’s step into 2026 with a fresh, judgement free start and properly renewed tootsies.

Your feet have suffered enough.

Hokay folk

I’m being hauled back into the depths of Calderdale Royal so the surgeons can excavate the geological wonderland that is my kidney. The aim is to downgrade me from Brush*te crystal mine to something that behaves like an actual organ. Less sparkle. More function.

I’m clearing the backlog of calls tonight. Sunday clinic is open to mop up the overflow from a Saturday that went feral the moment I checked my voicemail.

So before I disappear into bed rest, get yourselves booked in.

This Friday, 28 November, the twilight clinic is running from 6.30 to 9.30, and there are still a few bookings up for grabs.

Saturday has space from 11.30 and a couple of spots later in the afternoon.

Sunday?
I will be wrapped in a cocoon.
I’m not open.
I could be… but the universe has kindly granted me a free day and I’m not about to argue with cosmic mercy.... Watch this space for a Sunday overflow clinic -_-

It’s freezing, and despite my noble attempts to cocoon myself in a small dark room like a seasonal hermit, Saturday is fully booked.
So out into the cold I must go.

To soften the blow of my own overcommitment, I’m running an overflow clinic this Sunday on a gently paced schedule that even includes a lunch break.
(Tomorrow me will not thank me.)

Sub-zero is upon us.
If your feet are suffering for it, come get them sorted.

Valley Road Podiatry will be closed tomorrow (Sunday 16th).

Why?
Because I, your local foot goblin, forgot to turn my phone on until Wednesday and somehow manifested an entire battalion of patients… all of whom insisted on Saturday.
So Sunday?
Nope. Off limits. Y’all were too slow. I have plans.

If you need me tomorrow, I’ll be in my rocking chair, listening to Maria Callas, contemplating which lethargic activity to grace the universe with next.

Upcoming clinic slots:
• Friday evening from 6.30
• Saturday
• Sunday

Cold out there.
What are you all doing to stay warm, besides forgetting to turn your phones on and overbooking your entire life?
