About Me

Hello, I'm Nicole Marlow (Wright), a fully qualified Chiropodist/Podiatrist with an MSc in Podiatry, proudly serving Southbourne and surrounding areas. My commitment to your well-being is backed by my registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), full insurance coverage, and a DBS check for your peace of mind.


From an early age, I knew I wanted a career that allowed me to make a positive difference in people's lives. Podiatry gives me the privilege to do just that - by caring for your feet, I help you stay comfortable, active, and happy. My approach is centered on providing a thorough, convenient, and compassionate service, all in the comfort of your own home. Your foot health is my top priority, and I'm here to ensure you feel well-cared for every step of the way.

What it means to be an HCPC-registered Podiatrist and a Member of the Royal College of Podiatry


Being an HCPC-registered podiatrist means I meet the strict professional standards set by the Health and Care Professions Council, the UK's statutory regulator for podiatry. This registration ensures that I am fully qualified, professionally accountable, and committed to providing safe, evidence-based care.


As a Member of the Royal College of Podiatry, I am part of the UK's leading professional body for podiatrists. Membership reflects my dedication to ongoing professional development, clinical excellence, and staying at the forefront of the latest research and best practices in foot and lower-limb health.


Together, these credentials assure my patients that they are receiving expert, ethical, and high-quality podiatric care.

Aim of Treatment

As an HCPC-registered podiatrist with an MSc in Podiatry, I am qualified and experienced in providing high-quality foot care to ensure your feet are managed safely and appropriately.

The aim of treatment is to maintain or improve foot health, reduce discomfort and prevent foot complications. Should any complication occur, I ensure it is identified early and referred promptly for appropriate management.

When necessary, this may include sending a letter to your GP to notify them of any concerns and request antibiotics (if required), arranging for practice nurses to provide ongoing wound dressings, or making a direct referral to NHS Podiatry for specialist care until any wound has fully healed.

While specific local statistics vary, foot wounds are relatively common among older adults. Early assessment and intervention are key to promoting healing and preventing further complications.
