Jackie Johnston BSc. (Hons) – Clinical Director

Member of The Royal College of Podiatry and HCPC* Registered

Jackie graduated from Queen Margaret University in 1995 being awarded a BSc in Podiatry with 1st class honours. Declining the opportunity to study for a PhD, she chose to specialise in private practice and opened Blackhall Podiatry.

Jackie no longer provides “hands on treatment” and has stepped into an administrative and mentoring roll. However, her experience and qualifications in immunology and medical microbiology continue to ensure that the clinic is managed with highest standards of infection control and clinical practice. Jackie enjoys playing Lawn Bowls and pottering in her garden.
