Travel to the university

We ask all research volunteers to go to the reception desk at the podiatry clinic on their first visit to the university (show on map below). Scroll down to see detailed instructions of how to get her via car, bus or train. There will be parking available in the Podiatry car park which can be accessed from Frederick Road (B6186).

Our physiotherapists will meet you at the University of Salford Podiatry Clinic. When you arrive, please let the receptionist know which study you have arrived for and your physiotherapist. If there are any issues, ask that they contact either Nathan Brookes or Adam Handley.

The podiatry clinic entrance is shown on the map below and can be found by using this google maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/dd93ykrdRWdPKzCV8 (What3words: ///perky.sting.chase).

However, PLEASE ENTER YOUR REGISTRATION AT THE RECEPTION DESK IN THE CLINIC WHEN YOU ARRIVE. There are also several spaces reserved for state-registered blue badge holders directly outside the entrance to the clinic. This link will take you to the clinic car park:
