How It Started FOR RACHAEL
Rachael grew up in Topsham where spent most time with her family on the river, enjoying evenings and weekends with her grandparents on their boat called Silver Tail. The great childhood memories inspired Rachael to call her podiatry company Silver Tail Foot Care.
When she was 18 years old, Rachael began caring for the locals in the Topsham community, alongside her mum. She enjoyed listening to their life stories and trying to make them comfortable.
Later on, she spent time working in a nursing home, and in 2014 she joined the NHS, where she gained her NVQ3 in Health and Social Care.
In 2017, Rachael learnt the importance of foot health. Wanting to make a difference, she joined the NHS Podiatry team at Torbay, where she trained to become an Assistant Practitioner gaining a Foundation Degree in Heath Care with competencies in Podiatry at South Devon University. Her efforts and dedication led her to become a private Foot Health Practitioner and starting Silver Tail Foot Care plus Assistant Practitioner in Podiatry for the NHS.
In 2019, Rachael completed the bridging modules which allowed her to start working towards her Bachelor’s Degree in Podiatry at Plymouth University. In the summer of 2021 she became a qualified HCPC registered Podiatrist.
Wanting to enhance her learning, Rachael continued to work part-time for the NHS throughout her entire training and for a year after she qualified. She left the NHS in 2022 and went to work two days a week for a private clinic in Taunton whilst continuing to build her Silver Tail foot Care business.
Rachaels passion to make a difference in people’s lives and to improve foot health,.
Rachael and her husband Carl have a new adventure farming. They have a farm where they rear young stock calves. In late 2023 Rachael opened Silver Tail Foot Care Clinic where clients can come to the farm and have their podiatry treatments.
