Welcome!

My name is Vaji Naji. I am a competent podiatrist with vast knowledge and experience, both in podiatry and in the nursing industry. Before receiving my BSc (Hon) in Podiatry from Queen Margaret University, I received my HNC in Healthcare. In my home country of Iran, I was a trained nurse working in an ICU ward for over four years. This involved working out care plans for patients and assisting in operations. Before this, I worked as a healthcare visitor for 2 years. My spare time includes shouting after my two teenage kids. 

My name is Holly. I studied podiatry at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh. During the 4-year course I attended many placements in different locations from Glasgow to Elgin giving me invaluable experiences. For more than a year I have been working for the NHS and have a strong interest in tissue viability. I have since been working in private practice, where I enjoy treating a range of patients. I am invested in maintaining foot health for my patients. In my spare time, when I am not looking after my house cat Waffle, I enjoy walking, going to music venues and cross stitch.
