A Podiatrist in the Worcester City Primary Care Network (PCN) diagnoses and treats foot, ankle, and lower leg problems. They handle issues like diabetic foot care, arthritis pain, sports injuries, and walking or balance difficulties. Working with GPs, nurses, and other health professionals, they provide coordinated care to ensure patients get the right treatment quickly.

Podiatry services include detailed assessments, custom shoe inserts, wound care, and rehab plans to improve movement and quality of life. Patients usually need a referral from their GP or another health professional in the PCN, but sometimes they can access services directly, depending on local rules.

To book an appointment, patients should contact their GP or PCN reception for help with referrals and scheduling. For urgent foot problems, patients should contact their GP or urgent care services immediately.
