Helen Darlington

Originally from Deeside in Aberdeenshire, I moved down to Edinburgh in 2010 to attend Queen Margaret University to study for a degree in Podiatry. Following graduation, I have worked in various NHS and private clinics in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

I first came across podiatry as a patient at the age of 12, when I was living in Australia with my family as I was experiencing foot and knee pain when doing sports. I’d like to think my ongoing biomechanical problems make me a more empathetic practitioner as I know how debilitating foot pain can be!

I have a keen interest in MSK podiatry, and I am currently undertaking a master’s degree in Advanced Podiatry as a postgraduate with the University of Brighton to gain expertise in this field.

Outside of work, you can find me at the gym, walking my collie X springer spaniel (Corrie) or spending time with family and friends!
