Welcome to our service
Podiatry is a branch of medicine devoted to the study, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle and lower leg.
We provide positive foot health advice to promote independence and self-care.
We offer core podiatry treatments to patients defined as high risk. This is to help prevent acute foot problems from developing that may result in hospital admission and possible surgical intervention.
Nail surgery
We offer a nail surgery service at Norwich Community Hospital and St James Clinic in Kings Lynn.
This service offers definitive treatment for:
- in-growing toenails
- thickened toenails
- distorted toenails
- traumatised and infected toes
Surgery is performed under a local anaesthetic by a podiatrist. You will have your initial assessment and post-operative appointments at your local clinic coordinated by the podiatry team.

Referral
We accept referrals from healthcare professionals.
Eligibility
NHS podiatry services are available to patients with:
- moderate to severe foot problems requiring professional treatment
