Podiatry
Podiatry is the medical specialty which is responsible for the assessment, diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the feet and, by extension, the lower limbs.
​
The Podiatry Department within the Ministry of Health aims to promote positive foot health and provide a range of services targeting mainly two priority groups- the diabetics and the elderly.
​
This service is provided by a dedicated group of three (3) podiatrists who manage a schedule that takes them to fourteen (14) institutions across the island. All of the podiatrists are registered with the Paramedical Professions Council .They are also members of the overseas professional body, the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists. They are committed to maintaining high clinical standards through continuous professional development programs.
​
Services are provided on Thursdays. Additional clinics may be held on Fridays.
