When it comes to your feet—especially if you have underlying health conditions—safety and hygiene are non-negotiable. At Bespoke Feet, I adhere to the highest clinical standards to ensure every treatment is safe, effective, and professional.
1. Gold-Standard Sterilisation
Your health is protected by strict infection control protocols:
- Autoclaved Instruments: I use surgical-grade instruments that are cleaned and then sterilised in an autoclave (a high-pressure steam steriliser). This is the only way to guarantee they are 100% free of bacteria and viruses.
- Single-Use Items: Any items that cannot be autoclaved (such as gloves, aprons, and certain dressings) are strictly single-use and disposed of safely after every appointment.
- Hygienic Environment: Whether I am visiting you at home or seeing you in the salon, I maintain a clean clinical field, using professional disinfectants and hand hygiene protocols throughout.
2. Expert Care for the "High-Risk" Foot
I am specifically trained to provide a "Safe Service" for those with high-risk conditions. A high-risk foot is one where minor injuries can lead to serious complications. This includes patients with:
- Diabetes: Where loss of sensation (neuropathy) or poor blood flow increases the risk of undetected injury.
- Circulatory Issues (PAD): Where reduced blood flow slows down the body’s ability to heal.
- Compromised Immune Systems: Where the body is less able to fight off infection.
- Advanced Age: Where skin becomes thinner and more fragile.
If you fall into a high-risk category, I use specialised, gentle techniques and equipment designed to treat your feet without damaging the delicate surrounding skin.3. Professional Accountability
- Qualified & Insured: As a Level 4 Foot Health Practitioner, I am fully qualified, insured, and committed to ongoing professional development.
- Clear Communication: I always explain my findings and ensure you are comfortable and give consent before any treatment begins.
- Specialist Referrals: If I identify a concern that requires advanced medical intervention, I will provide a professional referral to a GP or Podiatrist immediately.
