[Oxleas NHS Podiatry (Greenwich) @GreenwichOxPod]

Thank an @OxleasNHS #podiatrist today!

[Oxleas NHS Podiatry (Greenwich) @GreenwichOxPod]

Its #InternationalPodiatryDay today! Podiatrists play a vital role in the NHS.
Our team continued to treat patients throughout COVID to;
➡️ reduce lower limb amputations
➡️treat infections
➡️provide care in their own homes with virtual MDT working
➡️ avoid ulcerations

[Royal College of Podiatry @RoyColPod]

We are celebrating #InternationalPodiatryDay today. Podiatrists provide a vital service to thousands of people every day, & work across the life course from childhood right through to palliative care. Podiatrists keep people active and mobile. #Podiatry4prevention

[Oxleas NHS Podiatry (Greenwich) @GreenwichOxPod]

We were clearing out our office this week & we found this letter from a patient (2018). A lovely handwritten compliment to our Podiatrist, Podiatry student & receptionist! Huge thanks to Wendy & Lorraine, receptionists at Kidbrooke, for being such an amazing part of our team 🙌

[Oxleas NHS Podiatry (Greenwich) @GreenwichOxPod]

Thank you @OxHealthNurse 🙌 there is definitely so much more to our role than trimming toe nails 👣 we’d love to talk to anyone interested in studying #podiatry & hopefully soon we will have our first Podiatry apprentice! @eltasker1

[Natalie RGN @NurseOnA_Bike]

The impact we as health care professionals can have, podiatry is one of those endangered professions, have you ever considered it as a career? Lots more to it than trimming toe nails!! DW @felicityPodAHP and colleagues about their apprenticeship courses!

[Oxleas NHS Podiatry (Greenwich) @GreenwichOxPod]

1/2 We received this lovely written letter from one of our patients daughters. Her mother has sadly recently passed away. Her mother has been on our caseload for many years and we’re so glad our service made an impact to both patient and family ⬇️

[Oxleas NHS Podiatry (Greenwich) @GreenwichOxPod]

Worsening symptoms include;
