Podiatry with a difference
Thank you for considering Same Day Podiatry, the UK’s only advanced practice podiatry company that guarantees you an appointment within one working day. We are honored that you’ve taken the time to learn about our services and what we can offer you.
​
At Same Day Podiatry, we provide advanced podiatry services across the Midlands, treating a wide range of conditions affecting the foot and ankle to the highest possible standards. Our practice was born from many years of experience in the NHS, where we witnessed firsthand the challenges posed by staffing shortages, long waiting lists, and underfunded podiatry services. These issues have contributed to excessive waiting times, not only in podiatry but across various healthcare sectors. Even in the private sector, lengthy wait times have resulted in many patients suffering longer than necessary.
​
Recognising the limitations of advanced podiatry practice in the private sector, we took the bold step of leaving the NHS to establish the UK’s first podiatry firm that guarantees appointments within one working day. Our podiatrists are not only highly qualified; each holds a minimum of a first-class honours degree in podiatry/podiatric medicine, a distinction-level master's degree in surgery/biomechanics, and a postgraduate Level 7 qualification in independent prescribing. This allows them to prescribe medications in the UK, just like your doctor or nurse prescriber—something that 96% of podiatrists cannot do.
​
As a community-based company, we pride ourselves on providing the most up-to-date and highest quality treatments available. Our registered podiatrists and nurses are ready to address your inquiries 13 hours a day. In addition to independent prescribing, we can interpret x-rays and blood tests, perform surgical procedures, and design and manufacture both insoles and bespoke footwear. Our clinicians exceed the minimum entry standards for podiatrists, chiropodists, and nurses, each undergoing a minimum of six years of training in lower limb diseases. This extensive training sets us apart from other foot clinics, ensuring that you receive the correct diagnosis and the highest standard of care.
For certain foot treatments, it's crucial that your clinician is a registered podiatrist with the Health Care Professions Council to guarantee your safety. Podiatrists are extensively trained to understand the complexities of diseases and know when it is safe to use sharp instruments on patients. At Same Day Podiatry, you can be assured that any Podiatrist you see is registered with the Health Care Professions Council.
​
We offer a comprehensive range of services, including callus and corn removal, nail surgery, verruca management, foot pain management, musculoskeletal assessments, diabetic foot care, foot ulcer treatment, orthotic therapy, bespoke footwear manufacturing, gait analysis, paediatric conditions, and much more. We can also see you in the comfort of your own home at no extra cost.
With NHS waiting times reaching an all-time high—averaging approximately 16 weeks for a podiatry appointment—we can provide urgent same-day prescriptions for antibiotics, antifungals, creams, and even some controlled medications to manage pain, which you can collect immediately from your local pharmacy.
​
We pride ourselves on being not only the best but also one of the most affordable options for podiatry care. Our goal is to make podiatry accessible to all patients. Why not contact us today to find out more?
What makes us stand out!
1) We are fully qualified independent prescribers. Only about 5% of UK Podiatrists can prescribe like a GP. That means there are no limitations on how we can treat you. Other clinics will need to refer you back to your GP for almost every medicine you need.
​
2) We are master's degree holders in Podiatry. We have an additional 3 years of advanced training on top of the standard 3 year bachelor's degree needed to qualify as a podiatrist. This means we are qualified to offer more complex and advanced treatments and services, with additional knowledge to back it up.
​
3) We are Principal/Consultant level Podiatrists. We meet the requirements of the podiatry competency skills framework to be Principal/Consultant level podiatrists. Our podiatrists have worked at a minimum of band 8a level and above within the NHS, demonstrating that they have satisfied NHS interview panels that they meet the gruelling high standards to use these titles with their experience, skills, knowledge and qualifications.
