NHS Forth Valley does not provide personal foot care. Personal Foot care includes the tasks that adults normally do for themselves. Cutting and filing your toenails is part of your own personal foot care.
Further guidance and videos can be found on NHS Inform.
We are aligning its service with the Scottish Government Footcare Guidance.
This guidance supports people to manage simple foot and nail care themselves where it is safe to do so, and helps ensure that NHS podiatry services are
focused on providing clinical care for those with more complex or higher risk needs.
Our approach aims to make sure patients receive the right care, at the right time, in the right place, while supporting self care and early advice where appropriate.
