Summary
Good foot health and care play an important role in improving overall health and wellbeing of the general population. However, the observations of nurses and podiatrists suggest that people experiencing homelessness, particularly rough sleepers, experience worse foot health than the wider population.
This guidance, from the Queens Nursing Institute, was developed in partnership with podiatrists with experience of working with people who are homeless, and is intended as a resource for community nurses and allied health professionals. It can be used as a reference by others with an interest in the health of people who are homeless, such as hostel staff, day-centre staff and support workers.
