Podiatry Staff
Andrew Boyle, DPodM MCPod
I qualified in 1984 after studying for three years at the Northern College of Chiropody (Manchester/Salford).
The next four years were spent in NHS employment with Southport and Formby Health Authority. I had special responsibility for providing the nail surgery service , and for the treatment of those in specialist psychiatric care at Greaves Hall Hospital. In 1989, I took up a post with Liverpool Health Authority, with responsibility for developing and operating the Orthotics Department.
I also worked within the Orthopaedics Department at Royal Liverpool Hospital, as the chiropodist in a specialist foot health team, headed by the distinguished surgeon Professor Leslie Klenerman. I was involved with a research clinic that developed new techniques in the prevention, and treatment of neuropathic foot ulcers.
Alongside my NHS work, I developed my private practice, opening my first surgery in Formby in 1991. In 2000, I decided to commit to full time private practice and I ceased all my NHS work. Now there are three venues for treatment, Formby, Ainsdale and Maghull. At Andrew Boyle Podiatry I have wonderful associates who have a wealth experience and deliver the quality of treatment expected in my practice. Between us we hope to keep our patients comfortable
and mobile for years to come.
In July 2008, I was appointed by the R & A to provide the Podiatry service for The Open at Royal Birkdale Golf Club.
Janet Morris BSc Pod Med MCPod
I graduated in Podiatry in 1994 from The Northern College of Chiropody at Salford University. I then worked for a short period for Chorley and South Ribble NHS Trust, gaining some valuable experience, before joining the Chiropody department in St. Helens and Knowsley. Here I was responsible for a range of duties within a community setting. This included clinical work, domicilliary visits, nail surgery, and the treatment and assessment of high risk patients.
I had the opportunity to join the Andrew Boyle Podiatry team in 2004 and now work entirely in private practice. I am based at Healthpoint in Formby.
As a lifelong resident of Southport it is good to work within my own local community. I really enjoy my podiatry work within private practice. There is time to listen to my clients’ needs and work out the best way of helping their foot health to improve.
I am committed to CPD ( continuing professional development), and attend several courses each year arranged by the local Merseyside Branch of our Society. Recently I attended the College of Podiatrists Annual Conference in Liverpool, which I enjoyed very much.
Helen Parslew BSc Pod Med MCPod
Graduated from London Foot Hospital in 1988, with prizes. Worked for Liverpool Health Authority from 1988-91, specialising in paediatrics and orthotics. Gained Health Education Certificate. Moved to London and became one of four managers of an NHS Podiatry Department in Redbridge. As well as a clinical role, I oversaw the research and audit elements of the department. I was one of the first podiatrists to work in the Multidisciplinary Centre for Diabetes at Whipps Hospital.
I became an Associate at Andrew Boyle Podiatry in 2005. I work at Healthpoint Formby and Healthpoint Maghull.
Janice Grace DPodM MCPod
I qualified in 1984 from the Nort hern College of Chiropody in Salford. I was employed by South Sefton Health Authority in the NHS Community Podiatry Department. I have worked in community clinics and also in the patient’s home environment. As part of my duties I have undertaken new patient assessments, treated their foot problems and formulated treatment plans for them. I also give advice on foot care and footwear. Also, I supervise students during their training and regularly perform nail surgery.
In 2010 I completed a module on tissue viability and wound healing. I have also done a rotation at Aintree University Hospital with the Podiatry Diabetes Service.
I have been responsible for managing a caseload of high risk patients. This includes those with diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, vascular problems and nerve damage.
I keep up to date with new developments and have recently taken part in an audit undertaken by the HCPC into the Continuing Professional Development of podiatrists. I successfully met the standards, demonstrating that I have continued to learn and develop for the benefit of my patients.
I became an associate at Andrew Boyle Podiatry in 2013, working part time at Healthpoint Formby, and part time in the NHS.
In 2017, I left my NHS post to work entirely in private practice at Healthpoint Formby, Ainsdale and Maghull.

I have worked for the NHS in the Podiatry department in Liverpool and Sefton since 1990.
I have experience in hospital rotations, community clinics and domiciliary visits. I have undertaken high risk diabetes, rheumatology, nail surgery, gait analysis, custom made orthotics and routine podiatry clinics.
I became an associate with Andrew Boyle Podiatry in 2016, and work in the Healthpoint Maghull and Formby practices.

After previously working in other areas of healthcare, in 2011 I graduated from Northampton University with a BSc(Hons) in Podiatry. I was also awarded “Best Clinical Performance” in recognition of my consistent and conscientious performance in my final year.
I gained Specialist Podiatrist status whilst working for the NHS in Staffordshire, and since returning to this area I have worked as a locum for several NHS Trusts.
I am committed to my professional development and have a post-graduate qualification in Diabetes Care from Warwick University. I have had specialist rotations in diabetes and biomechanics teams, and volunteered as a podiatrist at the London marathon.
I joined Andrew Boyle Podiatry as an associate in 2019, working at Healthpoint Formby. The rest of my week is with Bolton NHS Podiatry where as a Specialist Podiatrist I carry out all aspects of podiatry care.
