The people behind
your care.

Elaine founded Carlisle Road Foot Care in Derry in 1993 and has been caring for the local community for more than three decades. She graduated from the Durham School of Podiatric Medicine with a BSc in Podiatry with distinction, and went on to complete a postgraduate certificate in Sports Podiatry at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Her clinical experience spans general foot care, sports podiatry, podiatric acupuncture, nail reconstruction, low-level laser therapy, and procedures for ingrown toenails and verrucae. As clinic principal, she leads the team at Carlisle Road Foot Care.

Elaine opened her first practice at 40 Carlisle Road and won the Northern Ireland Livewire award in 1994, when the judges recognised her business plan and professionalism. The practice later moved to number 34 before she purchased and renovated 63–65 Carlisle Road in April 2011, creating the clinic’s home today.
