Podiatry

Introducing Jane Dearne

We are delighted to welcome podiatrist Jane Dearne to Cademuir Clinic in Peebles. Qualified since 2006, Jane brings experience across NHS and private practice, including a previous role as a diabetic foot specialist and a Master’s qualification in Wound Healing and Tissue Repair.

She offers routine foot and nail care, treatment for corns, verrucae, ingrowing nails and fungal infections, alongside diabetic foot assessments and advice on footwear and orthotics. Jane’s approach combines personalised treatment with practical advice to help keep your feet healthy and comfortable.

I completed my Podiatry degree at the University of Southampton in 2006 and since then have thoroughly enjoyed working as a Podiatrist in both the NHS and private sectors.

I am currently working as a community podiatrist, providing a domiciliary service and more recently offering clinic-based treatments.

I provide routine treatments for foot and lower limb care. These most commonly include basic nail care including ingrowing nails, and treatments for a variety of skin conditions and lesions such as corns, verrucae and fungal infections.

My previous role within the NHS was a a diabetic foot specialist. This gave me extensive experience in foot and limb conditions associated with diabetes. This experience, together with my Masters qualification in Wound Healing and Tissue repair, means that I can confidently monitor and provide first line treatment for the lower limbs of people who have diabetes. Diabetes can have specific negative effects on foot health and it is therefore essential to monitor the foot health of those with this condition and refer on to specialised care when deemed necessary.

CONTACT JANE

The initial consultation includes an assessment of the lower limb, which involves basic neuro-vascular tests with a Doppler and 10g monofilament, to establish the underlying vascular and neural health of the lower limb. The skin is then reviewed, along with any lesions and deformities. From this, a suitable treatment plan is agreed.

All treatments are provided using sterile instruments and aseptic techniques.

Alongside the routine treatments, I focus on helping people to prevent foot lesions by advising on footwear and appropriate orthotic devices.

For those with skin or nail conditions such as Tinea Pedis, I can advise on appropriate over the counter medications and how best to treat, or resolve, the issues.

I provide advice on how to maintain foot health and which treatments would be the most appropriate for each individual.
