Lincoln Co-op opens chiropody units

The pharmacy division of Lincoln Co-operative Society is extending its services to include chiropody with new units opening in two of its 26 branches.

The first unit was opened in October at its City Square, Lincoln, branch. A state registered podiatrist offers services including nail management, arthritis and diabetes related foot care, nail surgery and podiatric biometrics (a mechanical assessment of lower limb and foot function). A second unit will open at Market Square, Gainsborough, this month.

Lincoln Co-op is considering running foot clinics for diabetics within its pharmacies and is investigating funding for these.
