[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 343325, member: 17713"] Just a quick add on to this ref getting to see a podiatrist via gp. My gp said to sel refer myself and there was forms in reception to do so. He ( and the podiatrist) said I have good diabetic feet, but because I am disbetic I could self refer and be seen,, but mat take a little while to get sn appointment because I'm not an emergency. I filled in the form at the reception.. And got an appointment with a lovely podiatrist within 3 weeks.. I see her again in 6 months. She said besides my nails.. Which are still important I have the best diabetic feet she sees... See if your GP allows you to self refer to a podiatrist... Tell him you not happy with ur feet and would lije to see someone that deals specially with them.. Even if it is a one off.. Ask if there are any self refferal forms... Good luck.. My nails by way are really, really thick.. But vaseline has been brilliant and only been doing for 5 nights... Also got told to put sugical spirit on cotton wool overnight between liitle toe and other one.. This too has been excellent advice. Such a shame so hard to see a podiatrist as **** sure it would save nhs money longterm!! [/QUOTE]
