Michael Maguire

Michael is an experienced podiatrist with a background spanning both NHS and private practice. Since graduating in Podiatry in 2020, he has worked at Homerton University Hospital, where he has progressed to an Extended Scope Podiatrist role specialising in high-risk foot care.

In this role, Michael leads within the high-risk foot service, managing complex and chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, wounds associated with peripheral arterial disease, and atypical presentations requiring further investigation. He works closely with multidisciplinary teams, including diabetes and vascular specialists at the Royal London Hospital, to provide comprehensive, patient-centred care. He also runs a monthly outreach clinic providing podiatry services to people experiencing homelessness, helping improve access to essential foot care.

Alongside his high-risk work, Michael has developed a particular interest in podiatric dermatology. He is undertaking postgraduate study in Skin Integrity and Wound Management at the University of Hertfordshire and has completed additional training in lower-limb skin conditions and dermoscopy. He uses dermoscopy to support the assessment of skin lesions and has experience managing a wide range of foot conditions, from corns, verrucae and skin infections (fungal or bacterial) to inflammatory skin disorders and suspicious lesions requiring further investigation.

Michael takes a friendly, thorough and approachable approach to every consultation. He understands that foot problems can affect comfort, confidence and everyday life, and is committed to helping patients understand their condition and explore the most appropriate treatment options. Whether you have a persistent skin concern, a painful foot condition or simply need advice, Michael aims to help you feel comfortable, informed and confident in your care.

When he is not at FIX (Or other clinics he works at), Michael enjoys spending time with his family, playing with his two-year-old son and travelling. Having lived in five different countries, he loves discovering new places and experiencing different cultures.
