Podiatrist in the Caribbean 🩺 | Day in the Life | Moving to Jamaica & Starting a Medical Business

Welcome back to our channel! In today's episode, take a behind-the-scenes look at what it is really like working as a UK-trained Podiatrist in Jamaica! 🩺🇯🇲 It’s Monday morning in Week 7 of launching my new medical practice, Good Soles Foot Clinic, located at Integrated Medical Services in Mandeville. Follow along for a complete "Day in the Life" of a self-employed healthcare professional on the island! Podiatry and specialized foot care are vital pillars of primary healthcare, particularly in managing diabetes, vascular assessment, and preventing lower-limb complications. As a UK-qualified podiatrist committed to working in Jamaica, I look forward to supporting national health initiatives with the Ministry of Health & Wellness Jamaica (@themohwgovjm) to expand diabetic foot care education, preventive screenings, and community health awareness across our parishes. In this video, I walk you through my daily patient setup and real clinical cases treated today: 🩺 9:00 AM: Static Ink Footprints analysis for Hyperkeratosis & Severe Heel Pain. 🦶 10:00 AM: Treatment for Bilateral Hallux Onychocryptosis (Severe Ingrowing Toenails). 🩸 11:00 AM: Clinical management of Heloma Durum (Hard Corns). 🦶 12:00 PM: Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Assessment (Monofilament & Tuning Fork testing) + specialized nail care. Plus, I speak on how to complete and submit your National Health Fund (NHF) Forms in Jamaica to help patients access medical benefits! See what tools and products I use in my clinical practice—from Swann-Morton scalpels, Clinell wipes, and Flexitol/Gehwol creams to vascular Doppler units, FIGS scrubs, and Vans Authentic footwear. Watch as I sanitize, manage clinical appointments via WhatsApp/Phone, and wrap up the workday before Toby and the kids pick me up in the Toyota Vitz! 🩺 BOOK AN APPOINTMENT AT GOOD SOLES FOOT CLINIC: Looking for UK Podiatry and Chiropody treatment in Jamaica?
