The site is here to help you understand foot and ankle conditions and the surgical work of the practice. It is not medical advice. These terms set out the basis on which it is offered.
The site is here to help you understand foot and ankle conditions and the surgical work of the practice. It is not medical advice. These terms set out the basis on which it is offered.
By using this website (londonfootandanklespecialist.co.uk) you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
If you have a medical emergency, dial 999. If you need urgent advice, contact NHS 111 or your GP. Do not delay seeking medical care because of something you have read on this website.
The clinical content on this site — descriptions of conditions, treatments, recovery timelines, research summaries, and patient stories — is provided for general information and education only. It is not a substitute for a personal consultation with a qualified clinician, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.
Every patient is different. Symptoms that look similar can have very different causes; the same operation may be appropriate for one person and inappropriate for another. Outcomes described or illustrated on this site reflect the individual patients concerned and should not be taken as a guarantee of the result you will achieve.
Reading this website does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and Professor Heidari. That relationship begins only after a formal consultation has taken place at one of the hospitals at which Professor Heidari practises.
This site is operated by OS Clinic Ltd, registered at 45 Queen Anne Street, London W1G 9JF. Clinical content is authored by Professor Nima Heidari, MB BS, MSc, PhD, FRCS (Tr & Orth) — a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, GMC-registered specialist in Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery, who treats patients at OS Clinic, The London Clinic and Cromwell Hospital in central London. References on this site to “we”, “us” or “the operator” mean OS Clinic Ltd; references to “the practice” or “Professor Heidari” mean Professor Heidari personally in his capacity as a treating clinician.
Information about consultation fees, treatments, and packages on this site is provided for guidance. The terms on which any specific course of treatment is provided are set out separately at the time of booking and in the relevant hospital’s patient documentation. Where there is any inconsistency, those treatment-specific documents take precedence over content on this website.
You agree not to:
The site may link to third-party websites — for example, professional bodies, hospital partners, news outlets carrying media coverage, and academic publishers. Links are provided for convenience only. The practice does not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of those external sites, and your use of them is at your own risk and on the terms of the operator concerned.
Original written content authored by Professor Heidari for this site — including condition and treatment write-ups, blog posts, and the “academic translations” of his published research — is © Professor Nima Heidari and is published here under the practice’s rights as author.
The underlying peer-reviewed research papers cited and summarised on this site remain the copyright of their respective publishers and co-authors, and are referenced under fair-dealing principles for criticism, review, and education. Photographs, logos, and crests of professional and academic bodies remain the property of their respective owners and are reproduced here under permitted usage.
You may read, share links to, and quote brief extracts from the site for non-commercial personal or educational purposes, with appropriate attribution. Any other use — including republication, training of machine-learning models, or commercial reuse — requires prior written permission from the practice.
The practice takes reasonable care to ensure the information on this site is accurate at the time of publication. Medical practice and the underlying evidence base evolve, however, and content may not always reflect the most recent guidelines. Always confirm important clinical questions with a qualified clinician.
The practice does not guarantee that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. From time to time the site may be unavailable for maintenance, or for reasons outside the practice’s control. The practice may add to, change, or remove any part of the site at any time.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded as a matter of English law — including any liability arising in the course of clinical care provided by Professor Heidari.
Subject to the paragraph above, and to the maximum extent permitted by law:
Use of the site is also governed by our Privacy Notice and Cookie Notice, which form part of these terms.
The practice may update these terms from time to time. The most recent version will always be available at this URL, and your continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Material changes will be highlighted at the top of this page for a reasonable period.
These terms, and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of the site, are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except that a consumer resident in another part of the United Kingdom may bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the UK in which they reside.
Questions about these terms should be sent through the secure message form.
