Important information

Please be aware that your appointment can last up to 3 hours.

The Podiatry teaching Clinic is term-time only, and not open on evenings or weekends. 

Opening Times 

The Podiatry Student Clinic currently runs throughout term time:

 

Costs and Payment  

The University is mainly a cashless campus, so we would prefer you to pay by card if you are able.

You can also pay for your appointment in advance using our online shop. 

 

Costs for treatment correct as of March 2025:

Any sundries will need to be paid for separately following your appointment. 

 

Referrals and appointments

We accept direct referrals as well as referrals from other Health Care professionals.   

As this is a teaching clinic, appointments are longer in duration and can last up to 3 hours as we have set clinic days depending upon the foot problem. 

For existing patients, an appointment can be made by contacting 01484 472201 or by emailing podiatry.clinic@hud.ac.uk

For new patients you will need to complete a "Request for Treatment" on our online form. You will be contacted in due course with a booked appointment by email. Please check your spam/junk inbox.

If you are unable to do this electronically, we can help you complete this over the telephone or we can send you a form in the post. 

Please note that the Podiatry student clinic is a busy clinic and appointments get booked up several weeks or even months in advance.  

 

What to expect at your first appointment

On arrival, check in at reception where you will be greeted by our receptionist and students. You will then pay before your appointment if you have not already paid in advance.  

There is a light, airy and comfortable waiting area for you to enjoy, and when your podiatry student is ready to see you, they will come to meet you and introduce themselves. 

This may be a longer appointment than normal as you will have a full assessment of your foot problems and treatment.  Following your first appointment, you will return to reception to make another appointment if needed. 

 

What if I am unable to attend? 

We understand that cancellations are sometimes unavoidable due to illness or emergency, and we will take account of this in all circumstances. 

Please call the Podiatry Clinic as soon as you know you won’t be able to attend, preferably with 24 hours’ notice, so that we can offer your appointment to someone else on 01484 472201 or e-mail podiatry.clinic@hud.ac.uk 

We will arrange the next available appointment for you, but we do have limited numbers so this may be in several weeks’ time. 

 

Refund of online payments 

We understand that cancellations are sometimes unavoidable due to illness or emergency, and we will take account of this in all circumstances in the first instance by offering another appointment. 

Refunds for missed appointments will only be made in exceptional circumstances and following a request in writing to the Clinical Administrator. 

 

Cancellation of an appointment by the Podiatry Student clinic 

We will only cancel an appointment in unavoidable circumstances, and we will contact you to offer a new appointment as a priority.
