Exciting news for the Brighton and Hove community! A brand-new podiatry clinic is set to open its doors on the University of Brighton’s Falmer campus, thanks to a collaboration between Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust and the university. This state-of-the-art facility promises to revolutionise footcare access for local residents while providing invaluable hands-on training for the next generation of podiatrists.

This initiative comes at a crucial time as podiatry services face increasing demand, particularly due to rising diabetes rates. With an expected surge in the need for podiatry care, this new clinic will provide over 4,500 additional appointments annually, ensuring that more people receive timely and essential footcare.

Nestled within the recently refurbished Brighton Sport & Health Complex, the clinic offers a modern and spacious environment, enhancing both patient experience and student learning. The site’s improved accessibility, with additional parking and public transport links, ensures ease of access for everyone.

The University of Brighton, renowned for pioneering the UK’s first undergraduate podiatry degree, continues to lead in training future podiatrists. The new clinic will bring NHS services directly onto campus, fostering closer collaboration in teaching and research. This partnership not only strengthens the training pipeline but also supports the recruitment of skilled professionals to meet future healthcare demands.

As we eagerly anticipate the clinic’s opening in Summer 2026, it’s clear that this venture represents a significant commitment to high-quality, accessible healthcare. For those interested in local property opportunities or seeking to settle in this vibrant community, Sawyer & Co are here to assist with any estate and letting needs. Embrace the future of healthcare and community living in Brighton!
