Video Consultation – you must have chrome search engine, a device such as a smart phone, iPad, or computer with a camera and microphone.

Telephone Consultation – you just need a home phone or mobile telephone.

We have already taken Video consultations with very positive outcomes. For example managing an injury to a big toe after a back yard game of soccer with the kids went wrong.

Once you have made a booking you shall receive a confirmation email with the link which you just click on when the time comes for the appointment. You will also receive a reminder the day before the appointment via text and some trouble shooting tips. Don’t be nervous we see this as a very important part of providing Podiatry to our clients now during Covid – 19 restrictions and in the future.
