Our Mission
Mobile, comfortable and cared for at home
Our mission at Alicegate is to keep Hertfordshire residents mobile, comfortable and free from avoidable foot problems, treated with the same dignity and clinical standard you'd expect anywhere else, delivered in the comfort of your home.
Personalised Care
Every treatment planned around your own nails, skin and circulation, never one-size-fits-all.
Compassionate Service
Dignified, unhurried care for older, frail or housebound clients, delivered with respect.
Your feet, our priority: one step at a time.
Our story
Built around the clients other services find hardest to reach
How the practice began
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.
Who we help
The practice helps everyone from age 10 to over 100: children and teenagers, working adults, active retirees, 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.
Where we treat, and what for
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.
Our standards
Clinical standards in a domestic setting, without exception
Clinically led, fully insured
Every appointment is delivered by a qualified Foot Health Practitioner who is also a registered nurse, with full professional indemnity cover through Balens Ltd.
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
Clear pricing, honest advice, steady review
- 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.
