I qualified in 1988 from the Durham School of Podiatry. My first job was for the NHS in East Suffolk, as a Community Chiropodist. I moved to Stockport in 1991 to work as a  Podiatrist for the Local Health Authority. Latterly I was a Hospital Podiatrist with the Diabetic Foot Service. I have established a Private Visiting Practice to help people who are not eligible for NHS treatment or who prefer the convenience of treatment in their own home & at a time of their choosing.
