## About this tender

Erewash Clinical Commissioning Group (ECCG) on behalf of the 4 Derbyshire CCGâ&#128;&#153;s (Hardwick CCG, North Derbyshire CCG and South Derbyshire CCG) is keen to test the potential provider market for Core Podiatry service across Derbyshire.

Core Podiatry is defined as â&#128;&#152;the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of common foot pathologies associated with the toenails, soft tissues and the musculoskeletal system with the purpose of sustaining or improving foot healthâ&#128;&#153; (Farndon, 2006).

It focuses on the needs of those with low & medium levels of foot health need with referral on to specialised podiatry and extended scope podiatry and signposting to non-podiatric services where clinically appropriate, e.g. smoking cessation or weight management services.

The objectives of the services will be to provide:

â&#128;¢ assessment and intervention for those patients with painful foot conditions where this has reduced mobility and independence

â&#128;¢ a surgical option for nail pathologies

â&#128;¢ management of foot pain associated with foot function and/or structural abnormalities for common foot and ankle conditions

â&#128;¢ footwear advice and orthotics as part of personalised care plans

â&#128;¢ foot health education information and public health information and to signpost to services

â&#128;¢ To contribute towards falls prevention and maintain mobility and independence

â&#128;¢ provision of falls prevention advice (following local falls prevention pathway and guidance into specialist services where appropriate) and health education.

Adults & children with a podiatric need including iatrogenic conditions without co-morbidity, i.e. foot conditions that are a result of health care treatment that do not have direct pathology but do have related lesions elsewhere in the foot.
