She enjoys all aspects of podiatry but is particularly adept with vascular and diabetic complications. Claire is registered with WPA insurance. Outside of work Claire loves to travel, has recently learnt to bell ring and is a keen bird watcher. She looks forward to seeing you in clinic from October onwards.
I qualified as a podiatrist in 2021 from the university of brighton with first class honours. After graduating I worked at the east sussex healthcare trust where I was involved in managing the nail surgery and diabetic wounds caseloads. Even though I enjoyed all aspects of my job I had a particular interest in surgical management of foot and ankle pathologies. Therefore, I decided to pursue a masters degree in theory of podiatric surgery at the university of huddersfield which I graduated with a distinction in 2023.
As well as working for Southdowns clinic, I currently also work as a specialist podiatrist at the diabetes care for you service in the sussex community trust and specialise in high risk, diabetic feet.
