About Us.
LFW Podiatry began in 2011 by Lynda Forbes-Wake and has grown from a home visiting service to an award winning, purpose designed clinic in both Ilkley and Burley in Wharfedale.
Lynda works alongside Associate Podiatrists Helen Holmes, Jenny White and Ateeka Shabir, all of us having graduated between 2011 and 2018 from The University of Huddersfield with BSc (Hons) degrees in Podiatric Medicine.
We are registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) as well as being full members of the Royal College of Podiatry, formerly known as the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists (MCPoD). We are licensed to administer local anaesthetics. Being members of the HCPC means we follow a strict code of conduct and update our skills via CPD (continuous professional development) on a regular basis.
Other advantages are, if you are registered with insurers such as Sovereign Health and Simply Health, you can often claim back a percentage of your treatment. We are also registered with WPA and Vitality Health.
When choosing a podiatrist, and you want to ensure we are registered with the HCPC, please visit www.hpc-uk.org/check and type in the practitioners surname and profession, Podiatrist.
