Our story
Built around the clients other services find hardest to reach
Alicegate Foot Health Practice was founded by Nse Murray after more than twenty years in registered nursing. Those years were spent alongside patients living with diabetes, reduced mobility, dementia and chronic wounds: the same patients whose feet are most likely to be missed until a small problem becomes a painful one. Qualifying as a Foot Health Practitioner allowed her to treat those feet directly, in the place clients are most comfortable.
The practice helps older adults, housebound and bed-bound clients, people living with diabetes, families arranging care for a relative, and anyone who simply cannot manage their own nails safely any more. Specialist attention goes to nail conditions such as ingrown, involuted, thickened and fungal nails; painful skin problems including corns, calluses, cracked heels and verrucae; heel pain and plantar fasciitis; pressure ulcer care; and full diabetic foot assessment for nerve damage and poor circulation.
Every visit takes place at home, anywhere across Hertfordshire: Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield, St Albans, Potters Bar, Codicote, Hertford, Stevenage and Borehamwood included. The outcome clients ask for is always the same: walk without wincing, keep skin intact, and stay independent for longer. That is what treatment is measured against.
Your feet, our priority.
Mission and standards
Clinical standards in a domestic setting, without exception
The mission is straightforward: keep Hertfordshire residents mobile, comfortable and free from avoidable foot complications, treating them with the dignity they would receive from any other healthcare professional. Treatment is personalised at every visit, explained as it happens, and followed by clear home-care advice so results hold between appointments.
Assessment before treatment
Nails, skin, circulation and sensation are assessed before any instrument is used, so treatment matches what your feet actually need on the day.
Dignity for every client
Care is paced for older, frail, housebound and cognitively impaired clients, including bed-bound visits, with explanation at every step.
No travel, no waiting room
Sterile equipment, clinical waste handling and a full treatment set-up are brought to your living room, bedroom or care setting.
Our commitment to you
- Transparent pricing quoted before the visit; treatments start from £65 and no charge is added for travelling to you within the areas covered.
- If a condition needs onward medical referral, you will be told plainly rather than sold repeat appointments.
- Ongoing clients are reviewed every 6–8 weeks so recurring problems are caught before they become painful.
- Appointments are arranged directly with Nse, the person who assesses you is the person who treats you.
