Meet the team

Michelle Thurman BSc (hons)
Podiatry MChS HCPC (SP) (IP)

I graduated from the University of Huddersfield in 2004 but actually developed an interest in Diabetic foot management a couple of years before I even started my degree. Once I had my Podiatry qualification, I headed straight toward the goal of becoming a specialist in this area, determined to try and prevent people from losing their legs to diabetes and peripheral arterial disease. In 2009 I reached this goal and became part of a fantastic Foot Team in Tameside and Glossop where I help prevent amputation as a Diabetes and Vascular Podiatrist. Alongside my area of expertise I have lots of experience in the treatment of all common foot complaints such as thickened nails, verrucae, hard painful calluses and ingrown nails. I spend most of the week in my NHS role but you can find me at our lovely clinic in Totley on a Wednesday working alongside a great team of physiotherapists.
