Podiatry Scope of Practice within
www.podiatricrx.co.uk and www.thefootandankleclinic.com

The Podiatric profession covers a broad spectrum of potential specialities within the foot and ankle area.  
The role of the Podiatrist within both Podiatric Rx and the Foot and Ankle Clinic has a number of distinct sub specialities.

In the main the type of work we see is related to joint and soft tissue problems in association with mechanical pathology.  Mark Gallagher has been working within the area since 1994 and has developed a number of key interests.

Mark’s experience is primarily within both acute and chronic joint and soft tissue problems. Mark works across the whole spectrum of the rehabilitation phases following injury, in particular in regard to ankle injury, ankle instabilities and ankle fractures.  This is mainly due to Mark’s involvement in an extensive trauma caseload within his NHS practice. 

Mark is also involved with a large rheumatology population dealing with people with inflammatory arthropathy and degenerative joint disease.  This patient caseload also includes both acute and chronic soft tissue injury, dealing particularly with Achilles tendon, medial flexor and peroneal soft tissue structures.
