| Annotation | In August 2007, Age Concern England launched the Feet for Purpose Campaign, calling for basic free foot care to be made for all older people living in Britain. A postal questionnaire was sent to 2716 members of Bristol Older People's Forum (BOPF) in January 2008; 884 were completed. The survey investigated older people's experiences of foot care in Bristol: their current foot care, and access to and use of chiropody and podiatry services. Seven out of ten reported suffering from problems with their feet, rising to 8 out of 10 in those aged 80+ and those who suffer from diabetes. Appendices include the questionnaire, the preliminary report, and some individual responses on experiences of foot care services in Bristol. Age Concern Bristol are having talks with Bristol PCT about providing a basic toe nail cutting service in the city. (RH). |
