Diane Brookes is a UK trained podiatrist. Diane graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science honours degree in Podiatric Medicine. During her career she has worked in various podiatry settings within the UK's National Health Service, but predominantly in high risk foot settings. Working in a very busy public hospital system, she gained a broad experience including conditions associated with the diabetic foot, wound management and prevention. Diane migrated to Australia in 2010, Orange NSW. She ran a busy private practice, dealing with a wide range of foot problems. She also worked in public health at Dubbo Base Diabetic Foot Clinic, where she dealt with wounds and wound prevention. In 2022 Diane moved to Forster for the warmer weather and the coastal life. In 2023 she opened a new practice where she will continue to provide all aspects of podiatry.
