Dr Vince Zevallos Herencia
Consultant Musculoskeletal Podiatrist
I am a collaborative, enthusiastic, and research driven clinician with a background in Podiatry and Bioengineering, including undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in Podiatry and a PhD in Bioengineering. My doctoral research focused on the development of innovative foot orthoses, providing me with expertise in novel materials, design, data management, and manufacturing processes.
My professional interests span service development, integrated care, the at-risk foot, biomechanics, materials science, physical therapies, and podiatric surgery. Having worked across a range of private and public healthcare settings, I have developed a broad understanding of lower-limb services and the importance of delivering effective, evidence-based, and patient-centred care.
I value collaboration and work closely with healthcare professionals, academic institutions, and industry partners to develop strategic partnerships, support innovation, and implement service improvements that enhance patient care. My clinical practice is underpinned by a strong commitment to research, education, and translating evidence and innovation into meaningful improvements in healthcare.
I also have a strong passion for languages and a deep appreciation of cultural diversity. This has enriched my clinical, teaching, and academic practice, enabling me to consider cultural and environmental factors when communicating with service users and professional colleagues. I have experience engaging with diverse clinical, academic, and external audiences through national and international meetings, collaborations, teaching, and professional activities.
