My name is Gillian Bryan and I am a Foot Health Practitioner. My background has been in nursing with a varied career, starting out on a surgical ward, and then spending several years in Respiratory Care, before working as a specialist Inpatient Diabetes nurse.

I then moved out to the community, working with local GP surgeries to help look after housebound and elderly patients in their own homes. I helped manage a range of conditions such as, Diabetes, Heart Failure, Frailty, Dementia, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. 

Having worked in the community for a number of years, I could see the benefits of providing a home visiting service, to offer bespoke foot care. With a background as a Specialist Diabetic Nurse, I am aware of the importance of foot care for people with Diabetes, and the possible complications that can arise. 

We can all underestimate the hard work our feet do for us on a daily basis, often only realising this when problems occur. I aim to give information and support, in order for clients to have a greater understanding and confidence to manage their foot conditions, and bring greater comfort to their everyday life.  

I am fully trained and insured by The SMAE Institute, and I will be covering areas in and around Tunbridge Wells, Kent with a home visiting service.
