I'm a British podiatrist with 10 years post-grad experience.
I currently run a small MSK podiatry team within the NHS, providing pre- & post-op care for pod surgery patients, as well as carrying out biomechanics assessments and interventions. My NHS experience have given me a good general background, especially in treating the 'high risk' foot.
I have an independent skilled migration visa, and will be moving to Australia in June, so I'm looking to start work in July.
I'd ideally like to work on the Central Coast (NSW) or North Sydney areas.
If anyone knows of any jobs - permanent or temp, full or part time, I'd be most grateful for your help!
Sorry for late reply - I have very limited internet access at present, having only just moved to NSW 4 weeks ago! I have a job now, having been to quite a few interviews - I'd underestimated how many jobs there are!
Having spent a bit of time over here in the past, I was ready for the way houses don't handle cool weather so well! Having said that, all of our friends seem to have got round the problem by investing in wood burners - which not only generate lots of heat but also look very cosy.
I'm working on the Central Coast - very handy for where we're living, & just as beautiful as I remember! Hoping to buy a house in the next 6 months, while interest rates are low (& hopefully before property prices start to rise again).
It certainly is a change, & I'm fascinated to see the differences (& similarities) in podiatry practice between Aus & the UK.
So far I'm having a great time, and it was worth all of the hassle and stress (not to mention expense!) to make the big move.
