Meet @smbraidwood our Deputy Head of Podiatry for @NHSLanarkshire! We had a Q&A session here's the results! Why podiatry? Wished to teach PE but had a knee injury. Ended up at the #Podiatry dept for rehab & the input made me reconsider. Changed to @GCUPodiatry, I don't regret it!

Meet Heather Lees one of @NHSLanarkshire #podiatrist. We asked her a few Q's & here's what she had to say: I have #family members working in #healthcare & knew this was the line of work I wanted to be part of. #Podiatry has so many different aspects I felt this was the 1 for me!

Check your feet regularly on holiday, at least once a day, just as you would at home. Carry a small first aid kit just in case. #podiatry #holidayfeet #feetforlife #holidays #sun

🦶🧵What do you like about working for NHSL? After completing my 6wk placement in 4th year within the North West Unit team I managed to get a job in as well. I was accepted from the moment I was a student & made to feel part of the team from day one and this has never changed.
