PATIENTS suffering problems with their feet can now get an improved service at their local clinic.
David Pike, based at Bedale Health Clinic, is Hambleton and Richmondshire Primary Care Trust's (PCT) head of podiatry, dealing with prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the feet. He has now gained a first class honours degree in podiatric medicine, and hopes to use his new-found knowledge when treating patients.
He said: "I think it's vital to keep up-to-date with changes in health care, and I'm sure that I will be able to use some of the knowledge to good effect when treating patients.
"I've been able to enhance my knowledge base, the PCT has a clinician with up-to-date skills, and patients will also benefit, so it has advantages for all concerned."
