Assessments and reports

Following an assessment our podiatrists can provide a specialist service for professional report writing. On request we offer reports in the following areas;

• General podiatry reports and letters
• Surgical opinion reports
• Medico-legal reports
• Biomechanical assessment reports

General Podiatry Reports and Letters

On request our podiatrists will perform a thorough patient assessment, the results of which we will detail in a written letter to your GP, insurance company or alternative third party. A podiatry report can be used to advise on medication and further testing, to request orthotics or surgical intervention or to summarise the outcome or an assessment.

Medico-legal Reports

Here at Chiropody.co.uk we are able to provide a medico-legal report writing service which involves our expert witness podiatrists preparing professional reports for court following patient assessments.

Our fully qualified podiatrists are state registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and can provide expert opinions on the following areas;

• The high risk foot
• Injury
• Podo-paediatrics
• Podiatric surgery
• Musculoskeletal podiatry

All our podiatrists have detailed knowledge in current research and methods of treatment and can provide advice on the following areas;

• Any treatment which is being currently provided or will be required in the future
• Functional ability and impairment
• The cost of treatment
• Improvement probabilities

Surgical Opinion Reports

In some cases when a patient's condition cannot be resolved using any other method of podiatry treatment, surgical opinion can be considered. In this instance and when surgical intervention is considered a more suitable option our podiatrists can provide letters and reports specifying these surgical options.

The following are some common conditions that could benefit from podiatric surgery

• Hallux rigidus
• Bunion
• Hammer toe
• Exostoses
• Mortons neuroma
• Metatarsal surgery

Biomechanical Assessment Reports

Our podiatrists here at Chiropody.co.uk are able to carry out a full biomechanical assessment of foot and lower limb function including a gait analysis. The outcome of this assessment will be used to produce a management plan in order to reduce injury and the amount of time taken off work.

On request we can detail the outcome of our findings and the treatment methods which were used in a report.
