I started my first job, with West Dorset Community NHS trust in 1993, having qualified from the University of Brighton.
I left this post in 1995, following the amalgamation into a Dorset-wide service, and have worked independently ever since.
In 2001, I was asked to join the Diabetes Specialist Footcare team at Dorset County Hospital, a post I held for 4 years. I have also worked for the Prison Service, providing foot care at Guy’s Marsh Prison, and also within the adult learning disability sector.
Outside of work, my interests include poultry keeping, Scouting and walking.
