She may be very new to BCHS, but Em has hit the
ground running within our podiatry team. Here she
tells us why she loves getting people to appreciate
just how much their feet do for them.
How long have you
been with BCHS?
One month.
Tell us about the best
part of your job.
I really like working in
multidisciplinary clinics
and educating people
about their feet and
how different health
conditions can affect
the feet. I love having
a good old chinwag with
my patients too; learning
about them and getting surprising tidbits that they
may not realise is an important piece of info for their
health care providers.
What would you like the community to know
about podiatry?
Podiatrists help with any foot concern; cutting nails
is just the tip of the iceberg of what we can do for
people. I love to collaborate and have found that
podiatry works really well as part of chronic disease
management.
What’s your go-to place in Bendigo?
I’m a bit of a foodie so I love a good café, or
anywhere that caters with gluten free options.
Currently my favourite is Crooked Kitchen Café.
I am open to recommendations!
Random fact: I’m originally from the Mornington
Peninsula, but I most recently spent five years in the
Latrobe Valley working in community health there.
My hobby this year is learning to sew!
