About the Author

Blessed with what she now understands to be an idyllic childhood in New Zealand adulthood taught Ina that people with a plan are to be admired. She never envisioned being a grumpy podiatrist working across five different countries in both private and public health settings.

Her grumpiness comes from the knowledge she probably could have had an easier life if she had a plan she followed. Having said that her willingness to take to hard path has led her to wonderful friends across those countries and an understanding that no one has all the answers, and everyone sounds like an idiot sometimes and one needs to just get one with it.

She currently resides in London still mired in the NHS and trying to get people to understand she really does know what she is talking about. While she has previously published in medical journals this is her first attempt to get her thoughts down on paper for the public. She is always happy to chat about how we can make things work better for everyone even if no one listens to her (circling back to the grumpy).
