My name is Holly. I studied podiatry at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh. During the 4-year course I attended many placements in different locations from Glasgow to Elgin giving me invaluable experiences. For more than a year I have been working for the NHS and have a strong interest in tissue viability. I have since been working in private practice, where I enjoy treating a range of patients. I am invested in maintaining foot health for my patients. In my spare time, when I am not looking after my house cat Waffle, I enjoy walking, going to music venues and cross stitch.
