ROSITA ASADI, HCPC

After working as a Scientist and a Teacher for several years, Rosita who was always interested in medicine-related subjects and the possibility of improving people’s health and quality of life, entered Brighton University where she graduated with a first-class honours degree in Podiatry Medicine and acquired registration with Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and became a member of The College of Podiatry (CoP).

Following her graduation, Rosita started working within both the private sector and the NHS to acquire further experience. She finds nothing more rewarding than being able to help a patient with severe pain to walk out of the clinic pain-free. To provide such a service she is keen on developing her knowledge and skills by taking part in various training on a regular basis.

Rosita’s podiatry degree allows her to supply designated prescription-only medications. Furthermore, she holds Local Anaesthetics Annotation and is licensed to administer designated local anaesthetics

Her additional training includes:

• Certificate to perform verruca needling which is a surgical procedure to treat resistant verrucae
• Qualification in foot mobilisation to restore range of motion of various joints in the foot

• Nail reconstruction

Rosita has treated many patients with complex foot problems and sport’s injuries and when required provided insoles and bespoke orthoses.

TELEPODIATRY

There are hundreds of foot and leg problems – are you suffering and wondering what the problem is? Send a photo (in complete confidence) to Rosita with your symptoms and she will be able to give you more information and advice.

What is Telepodiatry?
Telepodiatry is a service that allows clients who have a potential or active foot problem to enjoy an initial consultation from the comfort of their own home.

Telepodiatry has been found to be an acceptable method of providing some aspects of podiatry care to clients. It is an excellent triage mechanism, and allows earlier identification of, and intervention for, urgent problems.

How does it work?
Clients simply take a photo of their foot problem on a mobile phone (or other device) and simply email the image to us here. We then review the image, assess the issue and offer advice and diagnosis. In most cases, it is likely that a follow-up face-to-face consultation will need to take place.

How can I use the Telepodiatry service?
Simply send Rosita an image/images of your problem to westsussexpodiatry@gmail.com  together with as much detail as possible as well as your name and telephone number and we will be in touch within 72 hours. OR complete our special form by clicking the button below.

Podiatrist or Chiropodist?
