Please be advised that during the time period from 3 April to 7 April, the Podiatry and Orthotics Departments will be operating with critically low staffing levels. We will have only one part-time podiatrist available and no administrative support throughout the week.

To help us manage this challenging period effectively, we kindly ask that you consider whether your request is urgent before contacting the Podiatry or Orthotics team. Non-urgent queries may experience delays in response. During this time period, could any urgent orthotic requests also include shet.podiatry@nhs.scot in any emails to ensure these requests are picked up.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.
