Whist on the placement I had an outreach with podiatry team. I had an opportunity to learn how podiatrist team work in providing the care or support to the patients. While seeing the patients in the clinic I introduced myself and my role to the patient.

Podiatrist treat the patient who have injuries involving the lower extremities. They support primary care by providing expertise in foot and ankle health. They also help to prevent, diagnos and treat a eude range of conditions such as ingrown toenails, heel, knee and arch pain. They will be helping patients with a variety of different issues such as children with lower limb pain or walking problems, diabetes suffers with circulation problems who may be at risk of amputation, people with sports injures or putting more pressure on their feet causing injury. Podiatrist work with different health team professionals such as physiotherapists, dietitians, GPs and nurses and in a range of settings from hospitals and community clinics to the home of patients

I got an opportunity to see the patient of different age in the podiatry clinic. Patients had come to the clinic with different problems such as pain in lower extremities, ingrown toenails, to remove the dry skin from feet. I also got an opportunity to see patient with charcot foot that had come for the follow up clinic with the special shoes that helps to keep patient foot protected and prevent developing from foot ulcers.
