FEET @ MACCLESFIELD

I qualified in 1990 from the Glasgow School of Chiropody with a Diploma in Chiropody. In 1994 I upgraded the Diploma to a BSc. Degree in Podiatric Medicine from Salford University.

My first job was in the Orkney Islands, Scotland working for 2 years there. I worked mainly in a clinical setting but also had to travel, by sea or air, to various outlying islands treating patients who were unable to attend the mainland clinic. I then moved to a job in Manchester working for 17 years with the NHS and Specialising as a Diabetes Specialist Podiatrist. I undertook research in the high risk foot and worked with a multidisciplinary team at Manchester Foot Hospital and Manchester Diabetes Centre at Manchester Royal Infirmary.

In 2005 I set up my private Podiatry practice and I decided that it was time to try new avenues of opportunity so 2 years later I resigned from my post in the NHS and concentrated more on my practice.

In 2011 I jumped at the opportunity to open my own premises on Charlotte Street and here I am now running a business that I love and have a lot of enjoyment from.

I qualified from the Northern College of Chiropody in 1993 and obtained a BSc. Hons. Degree in Podiatry. I have worked with the NHS for 18 years in the Manchester area in Primary Care.
I specialise in the treatment of High Risk patients and like Sheona I have an interest in Diabetes.

Before my Podiatry career I gained a Diploma in Radiography and also spent several years working in Elderly Care. The key theme running through all my work is that I enjoy working with people and helping them.
