About Liverpool Hospital - Department of Podiatry

The podiatry department at Liverpool Hospital provides a specialised service to patients with foot pathology or medical complications that compromise the integrity of their lower limbs or general health. The aim of the podiatry department is to maintain or improve the foot health status of patients with "high risk" foot pathologies, including diabetes (all types); lower limb vascular insufficiency; sensory neuropathy; charcot neuro arthropathy; previous or active foot ulceration; previous amputation; or pathology likely to endanger the patient safety or the integrity of the lower limbs. Normal waiting time is about 4 weeks. An emergency service for injuries to diabetic feet or deteriorating wounds is available.
