Dear Patients 

At the Sussex Foot Centre, the health and safety of our patients and our colleagues is of the utmost importance. Like many businesses in the UK, we are closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and following the advice provided by the UK’s health authorities. In addition, we are following the guidelines of the College of Podiatry.


We wanted to update you on the actions we are taking to keep you safe and how you can keep yourselves and others as safe as possible while still coming into clinic for necessary treatment.


What exactly are we doing?
First, in line with guidance from the authorities we have increased the frequency of cleaning and the focus on hygiene management in the clinic. Specifically, we have:
– Increased the frequency of cleaning high touch areas such as door handles.

– Redoubled efforts to ensure that soap dispensers remain filled in all the WC facility.

– Increased the number of hand sanitisers and ensured they are refilled frequently Continued to remind members of the importance of good hygiene in the clinic.


Our patients are taking extra care to increase personal hygiene, which has meant demand for hand sanitiser gel and cleaning materials has increased significantly. 

We will continue to do everything we can to keep the clinic well stocked.


Second, we have advised all patients on what to do when returning from foreign travel, in line with the recommendations of UK health authorities.


Third, we will keep you informed. Advice from the UK’s health authorities is very clear: the risk of a patient becoming infected if another has tested positive is very low. However, if we are notified of any relevant issue, we will notify all and undertake a thorough clean of the clinic. 


As a patient, how can you help?


As a patient you can ‘do your bit’ to reduce the spread of the virus through good personal hygiene. This includes:
– Frequent hand washing (wash your hands for 20 seconds) and hand sanitising during your visits.

 – Making full use of the soap, sanitisers and cleaning items available.

 – Covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing and dispose of the tissue in the bin after use.

– Familiarise yourself with the latest Government guidance and do not visit the gym if you are displaying symptoms of COVID-19 and are advised to self-isolate.

– Follow Government guidance if you are a returning traveller


With the efforts of everyone at the Sussex Foot Centre, including our patients, let’s work together to keep ourselves safe and healthy.

From us all

Have had scan and chiropodist treatments and both were carried out with care and I was informed what would be done. I would highly recommend the Sussex foot centre for treatments.

I was misdiagnosed by my GP after injuring myself long distance walking. Now I not only know what's wrong with me, but also how to remedy it so I can walk again. Great attention to detail. Thank you 😊

Fantastic experience with the whole practice, there’s no where I’d trust more. Originally I went to have one issue sorted out, and have found another to be dealt with alongside. A practice where you feel listened to and taken seriously. Thanks again!

Had an appointment with Jon Collins about a sore heel. Had a scan on both heels, which was followed by a detailed analysis of the results and an explanation (in layman's terms) what the issue was. Very impressed with his knowledge, how it was imparted and happy with our agreed action plan.

Over the last 4 years or so, I have visited a number of professionals including physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths. I was experiencing recurring injuries in my left knee and hip from sports and from attempting to walk mid-distances. The pain was starting to flare in my back too. I was following the physiotherapists’ advice religiously and attending appointments regularly. However, the programme of exercises tended to make the pain worse rather than better. To add to my frustration, I was also misdiagnosed with a hip condition. In the back of my mind, I always felt there was something biomechanically incorrect in the way I move but I was reassured that was not the case until…..I booked an appointment with Jon at Sussex Foot Centre for a gait assessment. Jon quickly recognised the issue with my feet and their incorrect positioning. I was prescribed custom orthotics and after a few months of perfecting these, Jon then created my semi-permanent pair of orthotics. I have been walking further than I have done and am now back on the courts playing tennis, which I love, and never thought I would be able to do again. The whole team at Sussex Foot Centre are very helpful and efficient. My treatment is ongoing so as long as Jon is a podiatrist, I am his patient :) Thank you for everything!

I had nail surgery last October and after all this time I can say it was worth it. Jon didn’t rush me into it and gave me all options available, in the end I decided to go for the surgery and Jon made it so easy and everything was explained to me before, during and afterwards. Any questions I had were always answered by Jon or one of his team and put my mind at rest (I’m a bit of a worrier). Can’t thank them enough for helping with something that I had tried to ignore for years.

I highly recommend Sussex foot centre. I booked an appointment for the shoe insoles and Jon was very helpful and professional. He provided a great solution for me and I feel much better since I wear my new insoles. The entire team is also very nice and helpful with booking the appointments around my work schedule.

After the NHS screwed up my ingrown toenail operation twice this year I decided to go private and it was the best decision. I was seen really quickly and toes healed within a couple of weeks, highly recommend sussex foot centre.
