Resume:

Email: ********@*******.***
Personal Statement:
I am a qualified podiatrist with 2 years experience working in a sports and general podiatry practice in Queensland,
Australia.
This was an independent role which enabled me to experience all aspects of podiatry, as well as the day to day running of
a clinic and management of satellite clinics. This experience extended to working in a multidisciplinary practice and
working closely with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, exercise physiologists, general practitioners and sports
physicians, in the treatment and management of a wide range of patients from paediatrics to the elite athlete. This role
also included regular presentations to local community, sporting, and retail organisations.
During 2013 I have taken time to extensively travel New Zealand, Australia, and Europe before settling in London where I
am looking to take on full time, part time or locum work in a full scope podiatry practice.
I am a dedicated, hard working, and ambitious team player with a strong patient focused approach to podiatry.
I hold a British Passport and a current HCPC registration certificate.
