Patient self-referral

If you live in Wolverhampton, you can directly refer to the Podiatry department without seeing a health care professional (e.g. your GP).

Please note the service does have some exclusions. We reserve the right to reject referrals in the following categories that do not meet the requirements:

• Nails Cutting: Patients with no underlying medical or health problems
• Fungal Nails: Will not be treated routinely
• Verrucae: The service will not undertake verrucae treatment
• Diabetic annual foot screen: Without underlying need for podiatry treatment
• Corns and callus removal: Without underlying medical or health problems
• Heel pain and general foot pain: Without underlying medical or health problems

If you do not meet our access criteria, please seek treatment from your local private practitioner. Find a private podiatry practitioner here

If you are accepted for an assessment, ongoing care is dependent on your clinical condition. You may be discharged at any point following your initial consultation with a member of the team.

Home visits will only be offered if you fulfil one of the following criteria:

• you are terminally ill
• you are bed bound
• you are housebound and unable to travel without support

If in the clinician’s professional opinion, treatment is not suitable to be carried out in a home environment, you will be offered an appointment at a suitable clinic.

If you can leave the house for GP, hospital or other social appointments you will be expected to attend a clinic if your referral is accepted by the service.

If you still require a Podiatry appointment please complete the self-referral form below, once completed either email the form to rwh-tr.wolvespodiatryselfreferral@nhs.net.
