About Us

The Laurels clinic was established in 2000 by Elaine Broadbent clinical director and lead podiatrist. Her friendly and experienced team are passionate about helping patients stay mobile, independent and pain-free. Your journey to have feet you can be comfortable with starts with a half-hour consultation and treatment session, where a full and detailed medical history is taken. Upon examination, a diagnosis and treatment plan will be created and discussed with you. In this time any treatment that requires urgent attention will be carried out, time permitting, or another appointment made for continued care.

“Remember we are all walking the same life path: lets at least have comfortable feet to do so.”

What is the difference between chiropody and podiatry?

There is no real difference between the two terms. Chiropody is the most traditionally used term to describe treatment on feet by a health care professional, and is a widely used term in the UK. Podiatry is more associated with international terminology for chiropody and has widely replaced the title of a chiropodist.

Along with the change of title from chiropody to podiatry comes a greater scope of practice than predecessors, and podiatrists now have to prescribe rights and are able to perform minor surgery of the skin and nails using local anesthesia. They have a wider and greater understanding overall of the human body and conditions that affect the feet and lower limbs. Many podiatrists have special interests in biomechanics, wound care, dermatology and other conditions. They are very knowledgeable in their care of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and other autoimmune diseases and syndromes.

Completion of a degree in Podiatry or Podiatric medicine is now required to use these protected titles, that are regulated with the HCPC register and health professionals order 2001.

All the team at The Laurels clinic are recognized qualified health care professionals and are registered with the HCPC governing body. A minimal qualification of a degree of a BSc in podiatry or Podiatric medicine is ensured. All have public liability and personal indemnity insurance for your safety and well being.

Our Testimonials

My feet were in such a bad condition I was so scared of summer and getting my feet out. I had tried everything, and it was suggested by my Chiropodist to get dry needling done. I looked at a few places for quotes and Elaine responded straight away, answering all queries sometimes as late as 10 pm! She reassured me along the way but always giving me realistic expectations. I felt as relaxed as possible during the procedure and received excellent aftercare, and Elaine was always on the other end of the phone if I had any worries or concerns. 5 months later both feet are fully healed and I now have so much confidence! I cannot thank Elaine and her team enough, they really did improve my quality of life. Received March 2018”

As I had an ingrown toenail for some years, I had been to a few chiropodists with only temporary relief, but then I was introduced to Elaine Broadbent. A very lovely lady! As I did not want the whole toenail removed, she suggested a partial removal instead. I was very nervous on the day but Elaine put me at ease. Apart from the pain-killing injection, I never felt a thing. I can now wear my closed shoes and boots with no pain and with my toenails painted, you’d never know. I would highly recommend her.”

While skiing, this year, I suffered from bad knee pains and foot cramps. A specialist at the resort recommended a trip to The Laurels Clinic Leeds. I visited Elaine and the team and they quickly diagnosed flat feet and recommended treatment to cure my pain. I have been going to The Laurels Clinic Leeds for around 2 months now have I’ve experienced marked improvement in pain when playing sports. They will be top of the packing list for my next skiing trip. I would recommend The Laurels Clinic Leeds to anyone experiencing foot or knee pain during physical activities.

This was my very first visit to a podiatrist. My first appointment at the Laurels Clinic, I was seen promptly and received superb service from Elaine.

My heels were very dry with lots of hard skin and callus. Within half an hour this had all been removed, I felt a lot better and my heels looked and felt amazing.

I would highly recommend the Laurels Clinic.

I would like to give Elaine Broadbent a big thank you at the Laurels Clinic in Garforth, for going far beyond my expectations.

My partner was in agony with pain because of his infected ingrown toenail that needed immediate surgery, and the full toenail removing. We contacted Elaine at The Laurels Clinic and explained the current situation, she was extremely accommodating and went out of her way to fit us in for an appointment at short notice on a weekend for the next day. Elaine is very professional and knowledgeable with her profession and gives the patient great confidence in her and feel at ease at a very vulnerable time, especially if your needle phobic. The clinic was spotlessly clean and hygienic with excellent infection control. My partner and I were very happy with the service we received and would not hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone who wants excellent care and a very reasonable price.
