About the Role
As a Podiatrist within the Primary Care Foot Health Service, you will assess and treat patients presenting with a range of routine podiatry and foot health needs. Your responsibilities will include delivering routine nail care and nail reduction procedures, managing corns and calluses, and undertaking basic diabetic foot screening and risk assessment in line with local protocols. You will identify and escalate patients presenting with diabetic foot complications, infections, vascular compromise, or other high-risk foot conditions according to local pathways. Complex or non-routine cases will be escalated to the Lead FCP Podiatrist or appropriate specialist services. You will provide foot health education and self-management advice to patients and carers, refer patients to specialist podiatry, GP, or secondary care services as appropriate, and recognise red flag presentations to escalate accordingly. Promoting mobility, independence, and preventative foot health interventions is a key part of this role. You will maintain accurate and contemporaneous clinical records in accordance with HCPC, Royal College of Podiatry, and Promni Health standards, delivering care based on evidence-based practice and professional guidelines.

Service Delivery
You will deliver podiatry clinics across designated Primary Care Network sites, supporting the reduction of waiting times and improving patient access to podiatry services. You will contribute to achieving service activity and quality targets, ensure efficient utilisation of clinical appointment capacity, and participate in service audits, quality improvement projects, and service development initiatives.

Team Working
Collaboration with GPs, Practice Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, Care Navigators, First Contact Practitioners, and wider multidisciplinary teams is essential. You will participate in regular clinical supervision with the Lead FCP Podiatrist, escalate clinical concerns and complex cases appropriately, support a positive team culture, contribute to service improvement discussions, and share learning and best practice with colleagues.

Professional Development
You will engage in annual appraisal and personal development planning, maintain an up-to-date CPD portfolio, attend mandatory and service-specific training programmes, maintain HCPC registration and professional standards, and participate in clinical audits and reflective practice activities.
