Hi, I’m Jane: Clinical Scientist, qualified Foot Health Professional and founder and owner of The Foot Scientist. I’m so glad you have visited my page to find out more about me and my small business.
With 30 years’ experience of working in the NHS as a Consultant Clinical Scientist and building on my clinical expertise in Diabetes, I gained a professional Diploma in Foot Health with the world-renowned SMAE Institute and now provide specialist foot care to patients with Diabetes.
I am also a member of the Open College of Foot Health Professionals and the British Association of Foot Health Professionals.
Why feet?
Working with feet isn’t something I would ever have predicted for myself!
Whilst working as part of a team managing patients with diabetes in a GP surgery, I was shocked at the number of patients with life-changing but preventable complications in their feet.
Ulcers are one of the vast array of complications of diabetes. Often starting as a small nick or wound on the foot, left unchecked, these can become infected; leading to ulceration and eventually amputation.
I wanted to be able to provide the very best care for my patients in all aspects of their diabetes. A friend of mine who is a Podiatrist encouraged me get my foot health diploma and the rest as they say, is history!
My approach
My clients value the experience of having a qualified professional treating them. I examine the health of their feet and lower limbs in relation to any underlying health conditions to determine the correct treatment programme for them.
All treatments provided by The Foot Scientist are tailored to your individual health needs.
My goal is always to keep your feet in the very best of health and minimise the risk of you developing any complications which could lead to ulcers and ultimately, amputation.
Your safety
When it comes to the delivery of any treatment, hygiene is of paramount importance. All equipment is thoroughly sterilised by autoclave before use, and disposable equipment* is used where sterilisation isn’t possible.
You can relax in the knowledge that I take your health and welfare extremely seriously.
*All single use equipment is disposed of responsibly.

I am always happy to provide professional and friendly advice about treatments and procedures that will help keep you on your feet!
