Jamil Karolia BSc: Lead Clinical Director

Podiatrist with nearly 37 years of experience in the NHS and private sector. He graduated from the University of Brighton in 1992 with a BSc Hons in Podiatry and later obtained postgraduate diplomas in Podiatric Medicine and Audit and Clinical Effectiveness.

He has worked in London and Sheffield, specialising in musculoskeletal problems of the lower limb. He has also gained expertise in other areas of podiatry, such as diabetes, rheumatology, arthritis, child foot health, and gait abnormalities.

He is committed to updating his skills regularly and providing high-quality podiatry care to his patients. He works at Podocare, a premier podiatry clinic that covers South and West Yorkshire.

Outside of work, he is a keen sportsman and cyclist who regularly participates in charity events.

Louise Jackson: Lead Specialist Podiatrist

Louise Jackson is a highly experienced podiatrist and musculoskeletal (MSK) specialist with over 20 years of clinical practice, bringing a wealth of expertise to her role at our Wakefield clinic.

Holding a Postgraduate Diploma in Podiatric Surgery alongside her BSc in Podiatry and a Master of Public Health, Louise has built her career across prestigious NHS teaching hospitals in London and private practice both in the UK and internationally.

This breadth of training and experience has given her deep specialist knowledge in biomechanics, lower-limb musculoskeletal assessment, podopediatrics, sports injuries, and the management of foot complications associated with diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.

Outside the clinic, Louise enjoys skiing, padel, and running an active lifestyle that brings genuine understanding to the importance of healthy, pain-free feet.

Sonia Kausar: Podiatrist

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.

I came to the clinic a month ago after suffering with verruca plantar for nearly a year. I tried many different treatments and different podiatrist and nothing worked. I came to Podocare to try the SWIFT treatment, I only needed one session and all of them (3 in total) have gone. Louise and Farzana have been amazing. Totally recommend it. They were really supportive. I will definitely come back.
