Healthy Feet, Better Mobility – Professional Foot Health Examinations CPD Courses and Private Appointments

Foot health is a vital but often overlooked aspect of overall wellbeing, particularly for individuals with diabetes, circulation issues, or mobility challenges. At Viking Medical, we offer both professional foot health examinations and CPD-accredited training courses to support best practice in assessment and care. Whether you're seeking a personal check-up or professional development in this essential area, our nurse-led services provide expert guidance and hands-on training.

At Viking Medical, we offer comprehensive foot care examinations both at our centre and through convenient home visits, including services to care homes and nursing homes. Our nurse-led team provides expert assessments to help identify and prevent foot health issues, ensuring comfort, safety, and peace of mind for individuals and those in residential care settings.

Who benefits from Foot Heath Examinations?

A foot health examination is beneficial for anyone at risk of foot complications, especially individuals with underlying health conditions that affect circulation, nerve function, or mobility. Here’s a list of those who would particularly benefit:

People with Diabetes

At risk of peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage)
Higher chance of poor circulation (poor perfusion)
Reduced ability to feel pressure, pain, or injury
Higher risk of ulcers, infections, and slow healing

People with Cardiovascular Disease or History of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)

Reduced blood flow to the feet
Prone to cold feet, discolouration, or cramping
May not notice tissue damage until it becomes severe

People with Alcohol Dependency

Can develop nerve damage similar to diabetic neuropathy
May experience numbness, tingling, or unnoticed injuries

Elderly or Immobile Individuals

Reduced circulation and sensitivity
May not be able to check or care for their feet properly
More likely to develop calluses, pressure sores, or fungal infections

People with Foot Deformities or Poorly Fitting Footwear

Bunions, hammer toes, or previous foot trauma
At risk of skin breakdown, blisters, or joint issues

A regular foot examination helps detect issues early, prevent complications, and promote better mobility and overall health. If you, a loved one or someone you care for is in need of a foot care examination. Please fill in the form below with your details and one of our team will call you back.
