If you have previously received investigations such as x-rays, it may be helpful if you can bring along a copy of the results of these if they have not been forwarded on directly by your doctor. If you are also taking any medication, please bring along a list of what you are taking.

For podiatry appointments – your podiatrist can obtain helpful information about the way you walk or run from the wear pattern on your shoes, so bringing in a selection of shoes that you currently wear is useful.  Runners and other athletes with biomechanical problems may need to run for an accurate assessment to be made. Sometimes this is performed on the treadmill in clinic and at other times, we use the area at the back of the clinic to assess a more natural running style. For such patients, it may be appropriate to bring a pair of running shoes and some suitable clothing for this purpose.
