## Foot care in Hertford, in your own home
Hertford is the county town, and it is built on hills. Bengeo climbs steeply north of the river, Port Hill and the roads up from the centre are hard work on foot in either direction, and the older streets around the castle and Fore Street have uneven surfaces and kerbs that catch people out. For residents with painful feet, the topography is not a detail: it is the reason they stop going out.

Housing follows the same historic pattern: Georgian and Victorian terraces near the centre, larger Victorian villas in Bengeo, post-war housing in Sele and Foxholes, and bungalows and sheltered flats spread through the town. Period property here almost always means a steep staircase, and often a step or two up from the street to the front door.

Nse Murray treats at home right across the town. As a qualified Foot Health Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience, she works clinically rather than cosmetically, assessing circulation, sensation, skin integrity and medication alongside the nail or corn that prompted the call.

### Neighbourhoods covered
Hertford town centre, Bengeo, Sele, Foxholes, Molewood, Hertford Heath, Brickendon and the roads toward Ware, Hertingfordbury and Bayford.

### Property types

### Booking a visit
Call 07939 335744 or use the contact form; Nse rings back to agree a time between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

## Why Hertford households choose Alicegate

### East Hertfordshire coverage
Hertford is covered alongside Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and Stevenage, keeping regular appointment cycles realistic across the east of the county.

### Nursing-led assessment

### Qualified and insured
Qualified Foot Health Practitioner, fully insured with Balens Ltd, treating with sterile instruments brought to the home.

## Foot problems we see most often in Hertford

### Hills and steep approaches
Bengeo, Port Hill and the climbs out of the town centre load the calf, heel and forefoot heavily. Plantar heel pain and forefoot callus are common local consequences, and both are treatable rather than something to endure.

### Period terraces with steep stairs and doorsteps
Georgian and Victorian housing near the centre has narrow staircases and raised front thresholds. When nails are thickened or a corn is painful, those few steps become the point at which people stop using part of their home.

### Riverside damp
Properties near the Lea and the Beane run damp, and damp underfoot conditions encourage fungal nail and skin infection. Fungal Nail Infections are treated at one hour from £75.00, addressing the infection and preventing recurrence.

### Uneven historic paving
The older streets have worn, uneven surfaces. Altered walking patterns to avoid tripping create pressure points on the outer foot, which is a frequent source of the corns seen locally.

## How a visit to your Hertford home works

- Step 1

### Call or request a visit
Tell Nse what is troubling you. She rings back to agree a date, a time and who else should be there.

- Step 2

### Assessment at home
History, medication, circulation, sensation and skin condition are checked before anything is treated.

- Step 3

### Treatment the same visit
Nails, corns, callus, fissures or dressings are dealt with on the day using sterile instruments brought to the house.

- Step 4

### Findings explained
You and any family member present hear exactly what was found, what was done and what to watch for.

- Step 5

### Review agreed
Most clients are reviewed every six to eight weeks, with anything needing a GP or district nurse flagged clearly.

## Common Hertford presentations
Heel pain and plantar fasciitis are treated at one hour from £75.00 with personalised care and expert techniques to reduce pain and promote recovery. In a hilly town this is one of the most frequent reasons for a first call, particularly among people who still walk into the centre daily.

Ingrown and involuted toenails, both one hour from £75.00, are the next most common. Ingrown nails are treated to prevent complications and restore comfort; involuted nails, which curl into the nail sulcus, are managed before they break the skin.

Routine foot care, one hour from £80.00, covers nail cutting, filing and corn and callus removal, and is the ongoing appointment most Hertford clients settle into on a six-to-eight-week cycle. First appointments are a Consultation with Treatment, one hour from £95.00.

## Care that continues as needs change
Hertford has a substantial older population living independently in housing that gradually becomes harder to manage. Foot care is often the first health service that has to come to the house rather than the other way round, and it frequently continues through changes in mobility.

Where a client becomes bed-bound, treatment continues in the bedroom. Pressure ulcer care, wound care and dressing to prevent further complications and promote healing, is available at 45 minutes from £75.00 and coordinates with district nursing where that is already involved. Families of clients cared for in bed have described this side of the practice as professional and thoughtful.

Payment is cash or bank transfer, soon after treatment, with no travel charge in Hertford.
