Driven by a lifelong interest in health sciences, I studied Podiatry at Huddersfield University, building upon a professional background with the NHS and Community Health Services, and private clinics in Sheffield. I am a dual-college fellow registered with the HCPC, offering extensive experience across acute medicine, surgery, and community care.

Sonia Kausar

I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Podiatry from the University of Huddersfield in 2025 and am passionate about helping people stay active, independent, and pain-free. I have experience in managing high-risk feet, wound care, routine podiatry, and nail surgery. I enjoy building strong relationships with my patients and providing personalised, evidence-based care. Outside of work, I enjoy painting, ice skating, exploring new adventurous activities, but most of all I love trying out different foods from all over the world.
