I get free NHS chiropody.
I just asked my doc when I turned 60, and it was arranged.
I do have grotesque feet and qualify for 'hospital supplied' shoes.
I have flat feet, bunions, and have had 'hammer toe surgery'(knuckle removal) on 3 toes.
When you are having chiropody, the chiropodist gets chatting, like hairdressers do.
At recent visits she has mentioned that the criterion for chiropody is being tightened up.
Diabetics get it regardless of the condition of their feet because of the need to maintain 'extremities' in good condition.
I get it because of foot deformity.
