About Chrissy

I qualified in 1973 and have worked in the NHS as Senior 1 for Child Health and Health Education for five years at Salford, Oldham and Calderdale Health Authorities.

Next I was Head of Service in Hong Kong where I set up a Podiatry Department for the Hong Kong Government and in my spare time began a private practice at The Sports Injury Clinic, an expat physiotherapy practice on Hong Kong Island. Whilst in Hong Kong I also did some volunteer work at Bowring Vietnamese refugee camp, a leper colony and The Little Sisters of the Poor.

On return to the UK I did some work with the NHS in Birmingham, my special interest is in biomechanics and gait analysis. I was lucky enough to shadow the clinical head of Biomechanics at the Rehabilitation Centre, Oak Tree Lane, Selly Oak Hospital, so I have a great grounding in Biomechanics.

My next job was in a multidisciplinary private health clinic in the centre of Birmingham with a GP, dentist, physiotherapist and optician providing one of the first laser eye surgery treatments.

Following this, I became self employed and worked in various private practices, plus undertaking some locum clinical teaching at The School of Podiatry, Matthew Boulton College, Birmingham.
