Irantzu Yoldi (26), Specialist Podiatrist (Band 6), At KCHFT for: 18 months, Lives in: Whitstable

“I studied in Edinburgh and I had no idea what Kent was like, but when I visited with my partner I knew it was somewhere special. My main area of interest is MSK podiatry which I have been encouraged to specialise in, and now I run my own MSK clinic with support. We also work with local universities on research and development so it’s a really exciting role.”

At KCHFT for: two years

“I trained at UEL and worked in Lewisham for a while, but Kent has got everything – coast, countryside, easy access to London and France – what’s not to like? I really like the team I work in and the patients are lovely too. I’m well supported by my managers and I get to live and work in a beautiful part of the world for a fraction of what it would cost in London.”

Emma Turner (29), Podiatry team Lead (Band 7), Lives in: Chatham, At KCHFT for: six years

“I trained at Huddersfield and when I qualified I started looking at roles in London at first – but then I spotted a role in Kent and moved here instead . I started as a band 5 podiatrist in Maidstone but I always wanted a team lead role so that’s what I set my sights on and I’ve been encouraged and supported to do it by the trust. I’m based in Rochester which is a lovely historic town, but with easy access to London via the high speed train or the M2 – it takes about 45 minutes.”
