FootMed has a custom-designed clinic in St Andrews which integrates Podiatry, Biomechanics and Physiotherapy. In Cupar, we have a satellite podiatry clinic providing routine foot care treatment. Both clinics are on the ground floor and are wheelchair accessible.
The practice was established in St Andrews by Sara Boardman in 1990. It was previously based in Argyle Street and Market Street.
We have a long-established reputation as the first Scottish practice to use CAD/CAM to manufacture Prescription Foot Orthotics, which have helped numerous patients with their symptoms associated with biomechanical imbalances.
We, at FootMed, are delighted to launch a new treatment for treating fungal nail infections for our existing and new patients. The Lunula Laser is a quick, painless, highly effective procedure. We are one of only a few practices in the United Kingdom to offer this treatment.

Dermot’s initial interest in Podiatry as a career began as a teenager. He was treated successfully with orthotics after a series of foot and lower leg running related injuries. He is an accomplished athlete, competing in 5,000m, 10,000m and cross country races and has previously been selected to compete for Scotland.
He attended Queen Margaret University and graduated in 2010 with an Honours Degree in Podiatry. Dermot also holds a degree in Sports Injury Rehabilitation.
Dermot’s early career involved working within the NHS in the Maidstone area of Kent followed by a move back to Edinburgh to work for NHS Lothian.
In 2014 he joined our team and now works full time at Footmed, providing routine chiropody, home visits and wound care. He also has a specialist interest in treating fungal infections of the nails (onychomychosis) using Lunula cold laser therapy.
