298 - From Cane Farm to Foot Care with Rebecca Eakins

Rebecca Eakins, from Buderim Foot & Ankle on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, is one of the most inspirational podiatrists I've had the pleasure of interviewing. After graduating with degrees in podiatry and exercise physiology from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), she worked on the Sunshine Coast before eventually moving back to her North Queensland hometown of Ayr to be closer to family.

Several years later, Rebecca returned to the Sunshine Coast to open her in early 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Through perseverance and community involvement, Rebecca overcame the challenges of opening during COVID-19 to establish a thriving clinic. She enjoys helping everyone, from children to athletes, maximize their health through podiatry. Rebecca's story shows that you can achieve your dreams even in the face of adversity with passion and grit.

297 - The Benefit of Early Career Wins with Cameron Bennet

Cameron Bennet is the owner of My Family Podiatry, a private practice on the north side of Brisbane, and he is passionate about providing the highest level of patient care and elevating the standard of the treatment supplied by podiatrists.

He initially worked in Tasmania and Brisbane for a big corporate company, which was great because he always knew he wanted to have his own business and thought this was the best way to gain experience as a podiatrist and seeing how a podiatry business was managed before heading out on his own. 

In this episode, we cover:

• Why new graduates underestimate their abilities early on in their careers. 
• Starting small and limiting your overheads when you first start your business.  
• Getting out there and educating referrers and the general public. 
• Employment mistakes. It's essential to get the right person that fits your team. 
• Having enough confidence to have a crack and not give up too early when treating patients. 
• Imposter syndrome and how it impacts our perception of ourselves in the healthcare arena. Our scope of practice far exceeds other allied health professionals. 
• The dirty 'S' word - Sales. 
• The importance of sales and sales scripts in healthcare. Sales scripts help to overcome feelings of doubt. 
• Some podiatrists don't like the word sales, but if you're rebooking patients, you're selling.
• Building confidence through small wins.  
• Delivering confident treatment plans and transferring that to your patients with planned treatment pathways.

295 - Becoming A Registered Scientist with Shannan Clark

Shannan Clark is a Scottish podiatrist based in Troon, Ayrshire. She graduated in 2017, and after six years of private practice, she was encouraged to use her knowledge and experience to become a Registered Scientist. 

Becoming a registered scientist is a valuable achievement in podiatry, offering numerous benefits. It signifies a commitment to upholding high standards and applying scientific principles in everyday practice.

Reflective Learning

By gaining this professional recognition, podiatrists enhance their confidence and credibility among peers, patients, and employers. Registered scientists can reflect on their practice, delving into their experiences to identify areas of growth and improvement. This process promotes continuous learning and personal development, making them more effective healthcare providers.

Additionally, it fosters collaboration with colleagues, sharing insights and best practices. Becoming a registered scientist opens doors to new opportunities and career advancements, allowing podiatrists to expand their horizons and contribute more meaningfully to the healthcare community.
