Podiatry

We accept referrals from inpatient wards, outpatient clinics, GPs, private specialists and other health professionals.

Referrals for patients living outside of the CALHN catchment are only considered if made by a CALHN clinician or specialist involved in the patient’s care.

The Department of Podiatry in Central Adelaide Local Health Network (CALHN) is a specialist unit focused on the prevention of foot and lower limb amputations in patients with complex medical conditions.

Podiatry provides:

• daily inpatient and outpatient services at the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (TQEH)
• regular care of inpatients at Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre
• weekly Multidisciplinary Foot Clinic at the RAH
• weekly Multidisciplinary Foot Clinic at TQEH
• Telehealth Foot Service.

The RAH is the triage hub for all Podiatry, Multidisciplinary Foot Clinic and Telehealth Foot Services referrals.

We offer services across the CALHN catchment area. Your clinic letter will let you know which hospital and location to attend for your appointment.

We do not provide ongoing services, general foot care or footwear provision. For access to these services please consider referral to a private podiatry or the UniSA student clinic.
