How it works

Mobilisation
We work with your PCN or system to identify high-risk foot health cohorts, including patients with diabetes and long-term conditions, and design a podiatry model aligned to QOF delivery and preventative care priorities.

Deployment Roadmap
Podiatrists are embedded within primary care and community settings to deliver routine and specialist care, including diabetic foot assessments, risk stratification, and early intervention – supporting patients at the front door and through ongoing management.

Ongoing Management
We provide continuous clinical governance, supervision, and outcomes monitoring – reducing avoidable complications, improving long-term condition management, and preventing escalation to secondary care.
