Diabetic Foot Assessments & Screening

Comprehensive annual vascular Doppler and neurological sensation testing to prevent diabetic foot ulcers and safeguard your long-term mobility.

Diabetes can affect blood circulation and peripheral nerve function in the feet over time. Our comprehensive diabetic foot assessments identify early changes before complications develop, providing risk stratification, protective skin care, and coordinated communication with your GP.
