Sally Purvis
Children & Diabetes – what do we; and don’t we know? | Saturday Afternoon
Sally Purvis: Our tertiary, high-risk sectors are specifically geared up for the care of our adult population, and at times, predominately for those suffering the complications of Type II diabetes. As a podiatrist this is an area that we feel confident that we are providing excellent care, and we have evidenced based guidelines to guide and assist our clinical reasoning. But what do we do when a young person presents with Type I diabetes? Let talk about this patient population with Sally.

Rhys Pierce
Rhys Pierce is a La Trobe University graduate and well-reputed podiatrist based in the South East of Melbourne. Practicing since 2017, Rhys developed a curiosity for the mechanics of the lower limb and associated sporting injuries.
After working for several years in the private practice sector, Rhys ultimately established a busy podiatry clinic within a multidisciplinary facility. He has since employed multiple podiatrists and enjoys providing a pathway for growth within the rehabilitation and injury management space. When the position became available for Production Manager at Footwork, Rhys saw this as both a challenge and opportunity to better his orthotic knowledge and play a role in the efficacy of orthotic therapy. Since his employment with Footwork, Rhys has transitioned from Production Manager to now General Manager, with eyes over the entire Footwork architecture. His experience as a practitioner and clinical director, turned senior manager in Orthotic Manufacturing is extremely unique and provides the foundation for an invaluable wealth of knowledge.
