Say goodbye to slippers, crocs or flip flops. Get out the mountain boots, trail gear, or walking shoes. The county awaits you.
Often surprises me when I answer the question “where you from?” With “Louisburgh “ and Mayo people say “I don’t know it, but hear it’s nice?”.
Now is the chance discover or rediscover your county.
Just make sure your feet are ready!

A happier 2021 to all. Positive events. The vaccine is ready for rollout in record time.
Better still the learning and cooperation from this experience in the medical/scientific world is going to have huge benefits for other treatments eg cancer.
Also the world has learned a lot about preventing disease transmission.
My own work?
Classed as an essential medical profession we are not in lockdown.
BUT: like first lockdown I’m conducting an initial basic phone interview.
Is it urgent? Eg. Pain, infection, could lead to complications?
Can I help on the phone? Eg. Prescribe some self care exercises etc for heel pain and come for review after the 11th (subject to change!).
So don’t be shy about asking for advice, help or just reassurance.
Meanwhile get down on your knees and thank the universe you’re on your feet 😇

“Le eagla na heagla” The Irish version of “just in case”.
But like a lot of our expressions the literal meaning is better.
Literally “The fear of fear “. Very apt.

Here's some food for thought as the permitted distance from home gradually increases. Good article that expliains complex issues for the average person on the high street (Oops sorry; there's no one on the high street!). And that reminds me, although the guidelines prevent podiatrists/chiropodists from working for another little while, I'm happy to help with advice over the phone.

For many people, going for a long run has been a liberation during lockdown. Some may even be contemplating including jogging to work as a way to actively commute once the restrictions are eased

This Covid 19 lockdown can be a hard call for private community health care professionals. In short: I’m not working. But say you are diabetic and have an infected, ingrown nail. You’d need to get it sorted.
So I play it by ear. If you ring for an appointment expect a little friendly interview about you and your current plight. Then we decide. But in this evolving situation that could change before today is out.
Now I’ll inject (no pun!) a little humour with my picture. That foot belongs to ‘her indoors’ (who remembers Arthur Daly in the brilliant ‘Minder’ sitcom?) Ok I lied about the foot.

Now here’s a few interesting thoughts for any podiatrist, and indeed anybody who puts one foot in front of the other beyond a walking pace.

Hope this gives you a chuckle.

‘I’m way out on a lower limb here’ I say, ‘Can you give me a clue to what you mean? Just a small toe-hold on your imagination?’

Don't want to be a spoilsport but its that time of year again when we hope to enjoy some sun at home or away. No harm to get upto speed with some serious facts.
I did the Masced refresher course recently to keep up to speed in identifying signs in my clients. The course is useful for people who have close contact with peoples skin/ scalp ,e.g. hairdressers, masseurs etc.

Skcin launch hard-hitting campaign for Skin Cancer Awareness Month

Throughout Skin Cancer Awareness Month (May) national skin cancer charity, Skcin will be sharing daily facts, advice and the battle scars of brave melanoma and skin cancer patients in a bid to get the ‘skinderella’ of all cancers taken more seriously by the public, by schools, by employers, by industry and by government - by highlighting the importance of prevention and early detection to save lives. Supported by Chris Bryant MP - read the full press release at: http://news.skcin.org/2019/05/its-time-to-take-skin-cancer-seriously.html

A colleague gave me the heads up on this interesting little course module. Any friends reading this involved as massage therapists, hairdressers (the scalp is a common site for skin cancer) , beauty therapists etc. might check it out. It's a registered UK charity. I've signed up to revise my knowledge.
