Good footcare encourages increased mobility and independence and reduces the risk of falls.
Braveheart Top Toes provides a personal toenail clipping service to anyone who has no underlying medical conditions that requires NHS treatment but is unable to cut their own toenails.
Clients can receive toenail clipping every 8-12 weeks (depending on availability), carried out by a Personal Footcare Volunteer. All Personal Footcare Volunteers have been trained by NHS Forth Valley Podiatry team and have learned the skills to carry out basic foot assessments, nail clipping, filing and give basic foot care advice.
The Process: If you are new to Top Toes, we require to register you with our service, which involves going through a short form over the phone. Initial appointment costs £30 which includes the cost of a personal clipper pack. Each subsequent appointment costs £20.
Once registered, when you attend your first appointment, we will issue you with your own clipper pack and you should bring this to each appointment. We will also book your next appointment 8-12 weeks later, depending on availability.
For more information on our service, please phone our office on 01324 633505.
