Pamela Baxter

Hello! I’m Pamela

I’ve been in practice since 2002 and I’m a Member of the Royal College of Podiatry and registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council), BDNG and Primary care Dermatology society. I undertake regular continual professional development to ensure that the service I provide incorporates the most up to date methods of practice.

My special interests are dermatology of the lower limb, verrucae, and nail reconstruction . All of our team members are dementia friends and welcome you into our clinic.

Hello! I’m Laura

Since qualifying with my first class honours in podiatry, I have worked in both the NHS and private practice. Drawing on the skills and experience I developed in my previous careers which include mental health and dementia care, I continue to develop my podiatric practice in silicone injection and Faulkner’s needling. This enables me to offer a continually high standard of both treatment and care. When i’m not looking after your feet you’ll find me in the gym or looking after my little cockapoo.

Hello! I’m Paul

After my previous career as a professional footballer I qualified as a podiatrist and started practicing within the NHS. I have continued my professional development, expanding on my skills and knowledge, so as a private practitioner I can deliver high standards of service and care in all aspects of podiatry. I am particularly interested in muscular skeletal (MSK) issues and biomechanics for sport. In my leisure time i like to keep fit at the gym and spend time with my two young daughters.

Hello! I’m Ann Marie

After a career in north tyneside council in customer service spanning 40 years I now enjoy working at Walk on air, I enjoy meeting and greeting patients and all aspects of working in the busy practice and I pride myself on customer care. My working environment is very welcoming and friendly. Working part time now gives me opportunities to enjoy my leisure time travelling abroad.

What is the Health and care Professions Council? (HCPC)

Pamela and the team are full members of the HCPC, it’s the UK-wide regulator established to protect the public, a register of professionals who meet exacting standards for training, professional skills, behavior and health.

They take action against registered professionals who do not meet required standards or who use a protected title illegally.

Falknors needling

Falknors needling is an innovative and effective treatment for verrucae. It is a form of soft tissue therapy which is intended to break down the verruca and create a controlled inflammatory response which, in turn, stimulates the body’s immune system to recognise the virus and destroy it. Needling is different from most other treatment as it only requires one, or occasionally two, applications.

Carried out painlessly under a local anaesthetic with little pain in the following days reported, this is now classed as the gold standard of treatment.

We welcome you to our a ground floor practice with free, on street parking and easy access for those with mobility issues. Situated close to Monkseaton Front Street, the practice is just five minutes walk from Monkseaton Metro Station.

Claire – North Shields

“After putting up with sore feet and in particular my big toe, for years, it finally dawned on me to have them looked at, after googling loads of options to help, none of which worked, I visited walk on air and was straight away put at ease by Pamela, I was advised that for my foot type, I'd been doing all sorts slightly wrong, utterly amazed after that very first visit I was absolutely pain free! For the first time in about 3 years! I've now decided to go back every 6 weeks or so to keep on top of things, over the moon with the results, highly recommend here to everyone!”
