Oat ClearStep we can also provide treatment in residential and nursing homes, as well as within workplaces. Businesses with staff who spend long periods on their feet may find on-site podiatry particularly beneficial.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A HOME VISIT?
During an initial home visit, the podiatrist will carry out a full assessment of the patient’s needs and concerns. This first appointment is typically longer than a standard clinic visit, as it includes a comprehensive medical history and the details of the patient’s GP.
The podiatrist will bring sterile equipment and conduct treatment in a space within the home that is mutually agreed upon as safe and comfortable for both the patient and clinician.
