Falls the Elderly and what we all need to know
What are falls and who are the elderly? I watched my father fall! There was nothing I could do as I was too far ahead of him. We had just returned from our first meal out since Lockdown. This was also my first visit to see him as he lives nearly 200 miles away and he...
Racial Inequalities in Health
The theme of racial attitudes is discussed with Dr Jill Halstead-Rastrick for Podiatric Reflective Practice after an interview by David Tollafield for Busypencilcase Reflective Communications. The subject is a broad area but speaks volumes of one woman’s passion in a field of medicine which is finally demanding to speak out on more that just feet alone.
Actions Speak Louder than Words
This is the last August article in my series ‘My Fitness Diaries’. It reflects on what has been published with a change in direction to my keep fit plans. I have achieved a baseline fitness, reduced my weight by about 1.5Kg and now look to use the gym more effectively to meet those common aims – loss of weight, muscle stability and cardiac fitness or stamina. My new series will commence later in the year so you can follow my efforts to keep fit as well as deal with foot problems associated with trying to stay healthy.

Calories and all that we do in the gym
My gym series was taking me where the pen fell and what activity I was doing. My aim was to lose weight, improve my heart and blood pressure, feel fit and live forever!

I’m keen in human movement as a podiatrist and like to discuss a wide range of health, not just feet.
