Katie Smith
HCPC Podiatrist

A few words from the lady herself!
 
My favourite aspects of podiatry are nail surgery and the ‘bread and butter’ of the career, routine foot care. From the most stubborn of uncomfortable corns to helping someone ooze that little bit of self confidence with their feet come flip flop weather- fingers crossed that won’t be long now! I enjoy educating my patients in their appointments to; you really can tell a lot from ones feet! 
 
I qualified in 2018 from Plymouth University where I started working in Bath as a lone Podiatrist in a specialist footwear shop. I have since then developed a love of walking in the woods of my home town, the FOD; where I have enjoyed most days of my now finished maternity leave, with our very energetic lab pup!
