Global recognition for quality of care and advancing industry

Foot Medic Awarded Global Health and Pharma - Podiatrists of the year 2018 

Everyone here at Foot Medic is delighted to announce that we’ve won a Global Health & Pharma Award for service excellence. We usually don’t like blowing our own trumpet but we’re so thrilled to have been nominated for this prestigious award , we can’t wait to let everyone know about it.
Global Health & Pharma is a health industry portal, bringing together all sorts of medical and healthcare organisations to share information, best practice and provide news about what’s going on in the industry. It looks at healthcare issues worldwide, rather than just focusing on the UK. The website and magazine cover core medical services delivered by the NHS as well as allied services such as social care, physiotherapy, dentistry or pharmaceuticals. They highlight organisations and clinics across the globe who are going above and beyond to deliver superior service to their patients, or who have taken on a campaigning role to change the public perception of a condition or healthcare provision.
We’ve been awarded in the Private Healthcare section of the Awards, which covers all healthcare providers from dentists and Harley Street clinics to physiotherapists and hearing specialists. The Global Health and Pharma Award goes a long way in recognising that Foot Medic is doing something just a little bit different from many other podiatrists not just in the UK, but across the world. 

We're Transforming Podiatry
One of the most heard comments as patients leave after treatment is “I didn’t think podiatry was like this!” Let’s be honest. Podiatry has a bit of an image problem, associated with dingy clinics and old-fashioned treatments. Foot Medic is so far from that image that our patients are amazed by the light, airy clinic, freshly-brewed coffee and homemade tablet – and that’s just the reception area! 
The range of conditions which we treat is also extensive and expanding all of the time. We’re excited about modern developments in technology which make diagnosis quicker and clinical outcomes better! 
We provide truly comprehensive medical services relating to the foot and ankle, catering for all age groups, ranging from what we would term as routine problems, like skin pathologies to advanced musculoskeletal services like biomechanics, gait and blood analysis, medical imaging, joint injection and orthoses manufacture.
Fundamentally, as dramatic as it may sound, our mission is to improve the lives of those we treat. We encourage our clients to see beyond the physical tasks of podiatry and focus on the effect of podiatry. In essence we remove and reduce pain from patients’ lives. We improve the quality of their lives and increase and improve mobility. Everyone’s goals are different, one person’s goal might be to walk pain free, another to move more to lose weight, improve health or the athlete who might need to repair and rehab an injury or get better, faster times. Podiatry has a role to play in each of these scenarios and the Foot Medic aims to ensure excellence for everyone it treats.
That’s just scratching the surface of what we’re about at Foot Medic – we could also mention our friendly team, each member of which brings different skills and experience into the clinic, or the fact we’ve got a video-appointment system which lets us help you wherever you’re based in the world. We could be looking at plantar fasciitis in Glasgow on a Monday, and helping a hiker who’s injured his foot in Geneva on a Tuesday.
