Referral

The Paediatric aspect for podiatry is still undecided as it was not defined in the adults community contract.

Sirona are currently seeing under eighteens for nail surgery in all 3 areas and in North Somerset for biomechanical problems. 

Referrals for podiatry should be made using Managed referrals in EMIS in Bristol and North Somerset and via email in South Gloucestershire. Please see the Adults Podiatry page for further details
