Podiatry

2025/07/03

The Podiatry Section in the NUH Department of Rehabilitation is a leading provider of comprehensive services for patients. Our highly trained Podiatrists diagnose, treat and prevent disorders of the foot and ankle. Working in both the inpatient and outpatient settings, treatment focus includes:

Biomechanical assessment and treatment of foot and lower leg conditions (including gait analysis and orthoses provision);
Diabetes foot care – assessment and prevention;
Wound care (including advanced therapies such as negative pressure and maggot debridement);
Skin and nail conditions e.g., ingrown toenails; and
Paediatric foot and lower limb conditions.

Podiatrists work closely with the Vascular, Orthopaedics and Endocrine teams to provide holistic care for patients with foot and leg conditions. Additionally, they work alongside Allied Health Professionals such as Physiotherapists in addressing biomechanical disorders of the feet and legs.

Podiatrist involvement in research projects, such as pressure analysis of the feet for patients with Diabetes, showcases our commitment to advancing podiatry. They are also working with the National Healthcare Group to train nurses in diabetes foot care education and screening. There are opportunities for final-year Podiatry students to undergo clinical placements with us.
