Maggie Mundenda  - Associate podiatrist

After graduating from Huddersfield University with a degree in podiatry in 2021, I embarked on a fulfilling career dedicated to foot health and wellness. With a passion for helping others and a keen interest in the intricate mechanics of the human foot.

My professional journey has begun with gaining valuable experience in the NHS working as a community podiatrist in a variety of clinical settings, including hospitals, patients own home and community health centers.

I am committed to continuously honing my skills through continuing education and professional development opportunities. Whether treating common foot ailments such as corns, calluses, and ingrown toenails, or providing specialised care for conditions like plantar fasciitis, diabetic foot complications, and sports injuries, I strive to deliver compassionate and personalized care to each patient.

So far, being a podiatrist has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals by alleviating pain, restoring mobility, and improving quality of life. As I continue to grow in my profession, I remain committed to providing exceptional care and empowering individuals to take proactive steps towards maintaining healthy and happy feet.

Theresa Kantola-Smith

Associate podiatrist

Since graduating with a BSc (Hons) in Podiatry in 2012, I have held a number of different positions as a Podiatrist. Initially I focused on domiciliary-based private work before moving to the NHS, where I have worked for 10 years in a range of roles. I am currently an NHS Specialist Podiatrist, specialising in high-risk feet, including diabetes and wound care.

I am member of the Royal College of Podiatry and HCPC registered. As part of my registration I participate in various ongoing CPD activities and I have undergone additional training in a range of areas including Diabetes Care.

Why Podiatry? The Podiatry profession is immensely rewarding to me. As Podiatrists we are able to have a big impact on patient well-being by improving pain and mobility. Also, each pair of feet belongs to a different person, and I enjoy the opportunity Podiatry presents to meet a wide range of people from different walks of life.
