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!

    Hi @christinecobey

    I hope you and your family have been okay! Just checking in to see if your grandson has been able to see the doctor yet and if he has been able to get support for his club foot? How have things been since this post?😊
