Abstract
The podiatry services in Condobolin were difficult to access with a limited number of clinics and long waiting lists. The Community and District nurses noted a lack of foot care amongst clients and also received feedback from clients with regard to pain and discomfort and impact on mobility and independence. These findings were supported by the ward nursing staff. A designated foot clinic was established for all community members to access. Happy Feet presents the improvements the foot clinic has produced for members of our community and Condobolin Health Service.
