Foot Care
Footcare service for older people in Hereford and localitiesWhat does it do?
We provide a basic toenail cutting and filing service for the over-50s, who have difficulty cutting their own toenails, owing to frailty or a disability of some sort. Please note that this is not a chiropody service.
Our footcare service is delivered by volunteers who have received training in basic footcare and toenail cutting from a registered chiropodist. Please note that this scheme is not suitable for those requiring more complex foot treatment or people with certain medical conditions.
