Chiropody

A chiropody/podiatry service is provided at Saint Luke's Hospital one day per week. This service is available to each of the four Wards A, B, C, D plus the Day Ward, Radiotherapy Nursing Unit, the Lymphoedema Clinic and the Lodge.

This is a service which treats the following conditions - corns, callus, bunions, ingrown toe nails, nail and skin diseases. Depending on the general health of the patient, more advanced treatment such as nail surgery under local anaesthesia and the application of orthotics can be provided.

Every effort is made to accommodate the patients as quickly as possible and an appointment can be arranged by contacting a member of the Staff on the Ward/Department. There is no charge to the patient for this service.
