What is a foot care nurse?

Foot care nursing is conducted by a registered nurse who has undergone additional training to provide specialized assessment, treatment, and management of foot-related health conditions. Their primary focus is on maintaining optimal foot health, particularly for vulnerable populations such as seniors, individuals with diabetes, or those with mobility issues. Foot care nurses are trained to provide a range of services, including nail care, callus and corn removal, wound management, and diabetic foot care. Additionally, foot care nurses offer education and guidance on proper foot hygiene, footwear selection, and preventive measures to minimize the risk of foot complications. Through their expertise and care, foot care nurses play a vital role in enhancing mobility, alleviating discomfort, and improving the overall quality of life for their clients.
