Appointments at Aelfric Court, Eynsham

New Patients are Not Currently being Accepted

FELICITY BURNELL BSc. (hons) MRCPod
Podiatrist with an interest in Dermatology
I qualified from the University of Southampton in 2010.
​
I have extensive experience both within the NHS and private sector. Within the NHS, I specialised as a Community Diabetes Lead Podiatrist working in community clinics, the Churchill Hospital's diabetic foot clinic and domiciliary settings. I have previously had permanent roles within Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust and have locumed in Greenwich, Ealing, Kensington, Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire.
I waved goodbye to the NHS in June 2017 and provided private domiciliary treatment across Oxfordshire until July 2022. Previously, I offered expert foot care at Raleigh Park Clinic, Oxford and have recently moved to my own, dedicated premises at Aelfric Court, Eynsham.
I do not offer home visits.
​
Further study in dermoscopy & skin cancer, diabetes, rheumatology, biomechanics, kinesiology taping, casting techniques, medical acupuncture, sports massage, advanced toenail surgery techniques, x-ray and blood test interpretation, my previous life as a medical secretary and a further undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science (University of Southampton, 2007) means I have a broad knowledge base that I can apply to each consultation.
​
I offer a wide scope of treatments. I am particularly interested in Falknor's needling for recalcitrant verruca. I'm passionate about keeping older people mobile so that they can maintain their independence and will be offering my expertise through explanatory leaflets, blogs and videos in collaboration with the Helen Hamlyn Hub from Autumn 2026.
I don't mean to boast (!) but I've helped to cure a LOT of fungal skin and toenail infections. There is so much misinformation out there on this subject. If you want to get your fungal skin and/or toenail infections sorted once and for all, please get in touch!
​
Although I enjoy all aspects of the job, I have a particular talent for the painless* treatment of ingrowing (ingrown) toenails (both conservatively and surgically). I am highly skilled in the surgical removal of ingrowing (ingrown) toenails (a.k.a. partial and total nail avulsions) and even offer needle-free injections, but if toenail surgery not the right choice for you I have a plethora of alternative options we can explore.
In March 2025 I relocated to a brand new clinic in Eynsham. The space is modern, bright and peaceful, with on-site parking. Located on the toll bridge side of the village, it is easy to access by car or via hopping on the S1 or E1 buses - Eynsham Church bus stop is about a minute's walk away.
Please note - I'm a One (Wo)Man Band! There is no Receptionist so unfortunately I am not able to make New Patient appointments over the phone. The online booking diary is easy peasy to navigate, and also totally secure. Your details will not be added to a mailing list.
​
I really enjoy a challenge - so if you've got 'problem feet', you've come to the right place!
