Dr Cam Wareham has worked in the area of Podiatric
Medicine and Surgery for over 25 years, and he has worked across
three countries, New Zealand, Australia, and the United
Kingdom.
His career started in MSK and sports podiatry in Canberra, and
even though he did enjoy it, he could not kick the bug and
excitement of becoming a podiatric surgeon.
He honed his craft in the National Health Service in the UK, and
even though some podiatrists would say he has been lucky, I would
say when you work 60 - 70 hours per week for multiple years luck is
not a factor.
On this episode we also discuss:
- Why he moved to the UK and worked in the NHS
- Chasing the surgery dream
- By working long hours, you make your own luck.
- Why you sometimes need to buy a round of drinks
- We’re not medical practitioners, but we are
medically-trained
- Changing your mindset - You are an educated
practitioner.
- Why you are not just a podiatrist. You would never
hear a dentist never say I’m just a dentist
- Empowering the podiatry profession
- Medical law - A patients idiocy is only part of your
defence
"There’s something about keeping your
patients close and keeping the ones with complications even
closer".
Final Tip
When you see new advances in Podiatric Medicine never
stop learning and embrace everything you can. You may not need it
today, but tomorrow it could change your practice.
If we stand still, we go backwards, so embrace the
idea of improving your skillset.

Podiatry Business Coaching
If you want to own and operate a Thriving Podiatry
Business, there are four vital pieces to the business
puzzle.
- Marketing - You need a well thought out
marketing strategy, not just more tactics.
- Systems - You need systems that will
support your marketing strategy and your team.
- Team - You need to develop a team culture
that makes your work-life balance easier, not harder.
- Diary - Your diary needs to be structured
in a way that maximises patient numbers and increases daily
profits.
