Ina is a Podiatrist specialising in biomechanics as it relates to wound care and lymphoedema and she is a Society of Tissue Viability Trustee.

Ina’s career as a podiatrist has allowed her to work in several countries and, before returning to New Zealand in 2021, the previous 23 years have been spent working in the UK across biomechanics and wound care.

Ina has presented and published on the impact of mobility as it relates to wound care and lymphoedema. She feels strongly that this is a neglected area of care that can make a huge impact on in-patient care.
