New podiatry unit opens on Isle of Wight

Tuesday 9th August 2011

Those in podiatry jobs were present at the opening of the new dedicated unit in St Mary's Hospital on the Isle of Wight.

The new £250,000 podiatry unit will benefit from specialist equipment installed across the treatment rooms, including an elevated walkway to enable staff to analyse patients' walking styles, reports the Isle of Wight County Press.

Diabetes patients referred to the centre by GPs will receive treatment from well-trained staff at the unit, thanks to the dedicated training room for those treating patients with the condition.

Speaking to the newspaper, Isle of Wight NHS chief operating officer Karen Baker explained: "It's estimated within the next five years the number of diabetics on the Island will rise from just over 6,000 to in excess of 10,000. This new facility will enable us to cope with these future demands."

In order to support podiatry patients and other people on the Isle of Wight who take little exercise, Isle of Wight Health has launched a new programme to encourage people to go for walks.

The scheme takes place on the first and third Wednesday of every month, beginning at the Esplanade and lasting for 90 minutes.
