FOOT HEALTH PROFESSIONAL
My Story:
Becoming a Foot Health Professional/ Podiatrist was never what I imagined I would pick as a career. I firstly met Mrs Humble-Thomas when I started as a receptionist in her Podiatry clinic which had just moved to a new premises that my father had built. This was in March 2018 and from the day I started I absolutely loved watching her in the clinic room being able to help patients in just one appointment.
After 5 months of working as a receptionist and being so interested in Podiatry, I discussed my different options with Mrs Humble-Thomas to be able to qualify. I started my Foot Health Professional training in December 2018 and qualified in December 2019 from the SMAE institute, Maidenhead. I then started seeing patients who required just basic foot care and built up from there.
In August 2020 after eight months of working as a Foot Health Professional I decided that I wanted to train further and become a Podiatrist, that's exactly what I am doing. I started my 4 year part time Podiatry degree in September 2020 with the SMAE institute lead by the Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh.

My Training
I am currently doing my Podiatry degree via The Queen Margaret university in Edinburgh. The course is 4 years as it is a part time, distance learning course. I chose to qualify as a Foot Health Professional first so I could gain confidence and work whilst at university.
