No. You can come and see us at any time.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a member of our patient care team, who will confirm your personal details and consent for treatment. The podiatrist will take a full medical history, assess your feet and then carry out any treatments required at the time. Finally, you will leave with a treatment plan detailing what condition you have, what is causing it and what we can do to resolve it.

Payment by card (visa or mastercard ) is preferable but we also accept cash. Unfortunately we do not accept American Express (AMEX).

There is free parking at the front of the Clinic. You will need to pop inside and collect a red tray which has a parking permit attached.

There are 2 small steps into the clinic, so we are unable to accommodate wheelchairs. A home visit may be more suitable.

When you book your appointment, you are holding a space on our calendar that is no longer available to other clients. If you are unable to make your appointment, please ensure you let us know by phone as soon as possible, so that we can offer it to other clients who may be in urgent need of treatment.
If cancellation is necessary, we require that you let us know at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged at a 50% fee. You can call us on 01403 249083 and leave a message if the line is busy, or if you are calling outside opening hours. Alternatively, you can send an email to horsham@feetandmotion.co.uk
If you wish to change the date of your appointment, please contact us with plenty of notice, so that we can offer you a new slot within a time that suits your needs.

Please note if you do not consent we will be unable to carry out any assessment or treatment.

These forms are all added to your clinical records. We are required by our professional body, The Royal College of Podiatry, to ask our patients to complete these for legal reasons. The patient registration form will include a section for Data Consent.
We collect data to assist in the administration of our business to provide you with an efficient service. We take your privacy seriously and will take all reasonable steps to ensure the protection of your data.
