Podiatry
Do you get discomfort walking or running?
Podiatrists are expert in the biomechanics of the foot. We are very fortunate in Huddersfield to have a university department of Podiatry. They open up their services to the community. They charge a nominal fee, and will be very interested in your problem, and will work with you to solve it.
The department can be contacted by phoning 01484 472201 or by e-mailing podiatry.clinic@hud.ac.uk
Care Phones
A care phone is the name of the phone that goes with the call for help pendants that you may have seen some people wearing.
To find out more about them please visit the Kirklees Council Care phone website.
