Revolutionary Foot Clinic Saves Diabetic Toes

Podiatrist Matt Francis has opened Atlantic Podiatry in Bermuda, with a focus on diabetic foot care. He offers diabetic screenings, blood flow and pulse checks, and works with local diabetes clinics to maintain foot health and catch issues before they become serious. Francis is also working on a master's in wound care and tissue viability. He offers a discounted rate for diabetic patients on HIP and does home visits for housebound clients. Francis believes podiatrists are an underutilised resource on the island and could play a much bigger role in preventive care, especially for diabetics.
