Mr Joseph Gaffin: Podiatry / chiropody

Covid-19

Hospitals are starting to offer more treatment for private patients, although a very small number will continue to provide NHS care only. Hospitals will need to catch up on all the treatment that was postponed at the start of the outbreak. If you’re due to see a Bupa recognised healthcare professional, we recommend you discuss this with them as they’ll be best placed to let you know whether there’s likely to be any impact on your treatment. Hospitals are taking extra precautionary steps to keep patients safe, such as asking them to self-isolate for 14 days before treatment and pre-admission testing.

About us

I am a Hertfordshire-based Podiatrist who qualified in 2002 from the well respected Salford University, home to the recently designed and produced Salford insole. I started my working career in the NHS where I was able to broaden my knowledge and skills due to working in diabetic and rheumatoid teams managing acute and chronic foot conditions. This experience then extended to being part of the Musculoskeletal team prescribing orthotics to manage sports injuries. I then decided to broaden my experience by moving into private practice where I could take on a greater caseload and make use of the greater time and resources at disposal. I am happily married to my wife Jacqueline and have 2 young children.

Areas of interest

I have a wide ranging level of interest in all areas of Podiatry/ Chiropody. This would include routine chiropody which encompasses removal of ingrowing toe nails, callus removal, corn enucleation and verrucae treatments.

My Podiatry interests are sports injuries, diagnosis and treatment/ management.

In addition, from previous experience, I have a great interest in the management of acute and chronic diabetic and rheumatoid foot conditions.
