Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GP referral for a foot and ankle assessment?
No. You can book directly. The specialist will assess your symptoms and advise on the next steps, including any imaging needed.
What conditions does this cover?
Common problems include arthritis, tendon injury, ankle instability, bunions and plantar heel pain. The assessment identifies the cause so treatment can be targeted.
Will I have a scan during the assessment?
Not always. The specialist may arrange an ultrasound, X-ray or MRI where needed. An ultrasound can often be organised quickly.
Can foot and ankle pain be treated without surgery?
Often, yes. Many problems respond to physiotherapy, orthotics or a guided injection. Surgery is only recommended where it is likely to help.
Will I get a written summary?
Yes. You receive a written summary of the assessment and the agreed plan, which you can share with your GP or insurer.
