A Little About Me
In 2009, Ivana brought her passion for patient care from Slovakia to the UK. Within a decade of experience in dental nursing, she identified her genuine passion in delivering exceptional care for anxious patients by becoming a skilled sedation dental nurse. Furthermore, Ivana realised she wanted to offer more, leading her to the field of podiatry.
Completing her studies with first-class honours at the University of Northampton, Ivana’s venture into podiatry highlights her dedication to continuous learning. Ivana thrives for excellence in delivering care and ensuring each patient receives personal attention. During her education, she underwent practical training in Oxfordshire and Leicestershire, gaining valuable experience in high-risk patient care. Additionally, placements at King’s College in London and Danetre Hospital shadowing podiatric surgeons further fueled her passion for Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions.
Ivana’s dedication goes beyond the clinic; she volunteered at the London Marathon, offering immediate foot care during the event. Her enthusiasm for Musculoskeletal (MSK) podiatry and orthopaedics shines through, covering sports injuries, gait analysis, biomechanical assessments, and the application of orthotic therapy. Nonetheless her services include nail surgery, routine and diabetic foot care. Ivana actively seeks opportunities to stay updated by participating in regular courses.
Excelling in both community dental and private practice as a sedation dental nurse, Ivana became eager to explore and evolve her skills in private podiatry settings across different clinics. Here, she actively enhances her knowledge and passion for lower limb biomechanics.
Ivana is an HCPC registered and a proud member of the Royal College of Podiatry, highly dedicated professional on the journey to healthier and happier feet.
