What is the MSK Podiatry Specialist Hub?

This appointment will be different to what you might expect:

You will have access to multiple healthcare professionals in this appointment to discuss your care in detail, saving you from needing to wait for multiple appointments.
You will have as long as you need with the clinician(s) you need to see, there is no end time to your appointment.
There will be other patients seen at the same time as you, but we have designed the event to ensure your privacy.

If you cannot make this appointment please contact us. If you no longer need an appointment, or we do not hear from you, you will be discharged.

How long will it take?

We expect appointments to take 20-40 minutes. Some people may take longer depending on how many clinicians they see.

When should I arrive for my appointment?

Please try and avoid arriving early. There may be a short wait to see your first clinician as we give each patient as long as they need.
