Hi, my name is Simon, I am born and bread in Matlock. After a range of jobs in and around Matlock I attended Huddersfield University to study BSc(Hons) in Podiatry. I qualified in 2005 attaining my Podiatry Degree opening the door to work both privately and for the NHS. Which I did for nearly 20 years after graduating, setting up North Derbyshire Foot Clinic as a home visit (Domiciliary) Practice alongside serving as a Community Specialist Podiatrist for the NHS.
I am very proud of my contribution to the NHS helping to shape the service both as a member of the management team and sitting on the Nail Surgery steering committee as lead nail surgery podiatrist for Chesterfield and NE Derbyshire Podiatry. I also successful completed my post graduate qualification as a Diabetes Foot Specialist, something which I rely on every working day. I resigned from the NHS in 2023 to concentrate on expanding North Derbyshire Foot Clinic. I am equaly as proud of my Private Practice and having the honour of being able to serve the community of my home town and surrounding District.

Routine Care
Most of us have hard skin or thick nails that are hard to get rid of. If left, not only can your feet become uncomfortable and sore but you are at risk of creating a more serious problem with your feet.
Also untreated the hard skin on your feet can turn into a corn which can cause serious levels of pain and discomfort. By regularly removing the hard skin and corns the symptoms can be successfully managed. Corrective devices individually tailored to your foot shape can, in some cases greatly reduce the build up of hard skin, reducing the need for long term treatment.
