About Green Cross Podiatry

The practice was established by owner Emma Ryder in January 2016 inside Green Cross Chemists Ltd, the largest chain of independent pharmacies in Sheffield.

The clinic offers a range of podiatric treatments, alongside general footcare, and the podiatrists pride themselves on high levels of customer service and the podiatric care that they provide.

We are grateful for the continually growing loyal, multigenerational clientele, and their raving word of mouth referrals.

It can be easy to neglect our feet, and yet they are fundamental to how we feel, move, and live every day. Do not let pain or unhealthy feet hold you back. We are here to help.

‘When our feet hurt, we hurt all over’

Data Protection

During your appointment you will be asked to complete a full medical and health questionnaire, including your personal details.

We aim to provide you with the highest standard of care at Green Cross podiatry. We need to ask these questions as certain underlying medical history and previous treatments can affect your feet. To do this we need you to be honest with us about your health and medical history. We are required by law to keep records of the treatments that you receive in our clinic, and the information that you provide to us is part of this. If you provide us with a contact telephone number and/or email address we will use these details to contact you with appointment reminders or changes, follow up conversations, or clinic updates.

Where necessary or required the information that you provide may be shared with other healthcare professionals such as you GP; parent/guardian if you are a minor.

At all times when sharing your data, we are complying with the guidelines of the Data Protection Act and are registered with the Information controls Office.

Your information will not be shared with third parties, or with anyone outside of the clinic without your prior knowledge or consent.
Green Cross podiatry went digital in May 2020 and our patient records are securely stored in line with the law.
