Ettie-Jane Pearce
PODIATRIST
My Story:
Becoming a Foot Health Professional/ Podiatrist differed from what I imagined I would pick as a career. I first met Mrs Humble-Thomas when I started as a receptionist in her podiatric clinic, which had just moved to a new premises my father had built. This was in March 2018, and from the day I started, I loved watching her in the clinic room, significantly because she could help patients in just one appointment.
After 5 months of working as a receptionist and being very interested in Podiatry, I discussed my options with Mrs Humble-Thomas to qualify. I started my Foot Health Professional training in December 2018 and qualified in December 2019 from the SMAE Institute, Maidenhead. I then began seeing patients who required primary foot care and built up from there.
In August 2020, after eight months of working as a Foot Health Professional, I wanted to train further and become a Podiatrist; that's precisely what I did. I started my 4-year Podiatry degree in September 2020 with the SMAE institute led by the Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh and Qualified with a BSc (Hons) in Podiatry in August 2024. I am on the HCPC register (registration number: CH037174).
