What is National Feet Week?
National Feet Week is taking place from 9th to 15th March 2020 , the purpose of the campaign is to encourage people of all ages to prioritise foot health. The majority of people will automatically book regular check-ups at the dentist or optician, but how often do those people consider the benefits of an annual foot examination?
