My 18 month old grandson has a mild(ish) club foot. It is now causing him to trip up constantly and his mum doesn’t like him walking unless he is on grass or carpet. He has never seen a doctor about it and has not had any visits from the health visitor. He needs help. What is the next step we should take to see a consultant.

    Hi @christinecobey and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    Contacting the GP or health visitor would be the first port of call😊 they should then be able to refer your godson to a specialist consultant.

    STEPS is a great charity who specialise in lower limb conditions and club foot is included in this so it may be worth exploring that website too!
