Use the service's urgent and routine pathways where vascular, infection, wound, neurological or other findings fall outside the podiatrist's competence or available resources.
Can foot photographs be kept in the clinical record?
Only with an appropriate clinical purpose and authority, secure capture and storage, limited access and clear handling under the provider's record procedure.
Can wound care form part of the role?
Yes where the practitioner is competent and the service provides assessment, dressings, escalation and record controls.
Who may prescribe medicines or appliances?
Only a practitioner holding the relevant authority may prescribe within competence and the employer's governance.
Can domiciliary visits be required?
Yes, with travel, lone-working, instrument transport, clinical-waste and unsuitable-environment arrangements stated.
How are reusable instruments controlled?
Use validated cleaning, packaging, sterilisation, storage and traceability processes before further patient use.
Can the Podiatrist treat every patient group?
No. Allocation should reflect verified competence, service scope, patient risk and access to appropriate referral.
What happens after suspected deterioration?
Document findings, give appropriate immediate advice and use the agreed urgent clinical referral pathway.
How should orthotic devices be handed over?
Record fit, use, care, review timing, warning signs and the route for adjustment or replacement concerns.
