Hello readers!
I'm Sally James, the fresh face at the Village Clinic, and I'm absolutely thrilled to be a part of this wonderful team! With nearly two decades of experience as a podiatrist, my journey has taken me on a fantastic ride across different corners of the UK.
My passion for podiatry was first sparked when I was a trainee nurse back in 1999 when I witnessed the incredible impact a podiatrist had on a diabetic patient's life. From there, I embarked on my podiatric adventure, starting out as a general nurse and later specialising in the fascinating field of the lower limb.
I trained at Matthew Boulton School of Podiatry in Birmingham, before returning to my home county of Cheshire where I ran a successful podiatric multidisciplinary for nearly 10 years. In 2013, after getting married and starting a family, I found myself in the picturesque village of Fairford, Gloucestershire. During my time in Gloucestershire, I delved deep into aesthetic podiatry and musculoskeletal problems, using cutting-edge technology to help my patients overcome a variety of conditions.
In 2018 after a surprising turn of events, my husband and I ventured into a whole new world by purchasing a commercial water mill with iron age fort in the serene landscapes of Pembrokeshire, Southwest Wales. Trust me; that story is as exciting as it sounds!
Now, I've landed at the Village Clinic, and I couldn't be happier. Every day here is a new adventure, filled with challenges and inspiring cases. While I adore all aspects of podiatry, I have a special interest in musculoskeletal issues and biomechanical challenges. In fact, I'm hoping to gain a place on a MSc Biomechanics course soon!
I'm here not just to care for your feet but to make sure you walk away feeling better, both physically and mentally. So, if you're dealing with foot woes, don't hesitate to drop by the clinic. I'm eagerly looking forward to meeting you and your feet soon!
Until next time, take care and keep those feet happy! 👣✨
