Afdha Djehafar Aly

BSc (Hons) MCpod.
HCPC registered,

Principal Podiatrist

I am Afdha Aly, your podiatrist/chiropodist at Longwood Foot Clinic. I am a member of the College of Podiatry and a HCPC registered podiatrist. I graduated from University of East London in 2012 with a Bachelor of science honours degree in podiatric medicine. Following graduation, I moved to Scotland to live with my husband and started working in a private podiatry practice north east of the border for a few years before relocating to London in 2018.

Why did I choose podiatry?
I was drawn towards a career in healthcare because as I wanted to make a positive impact every single day on people’s lives and I believe this is what makes me a great practitioner. I really enjoy working as a podiatrist especially as I am continually learning new techniques as the profession evolves and enjoy watching my patient’s walk out with a smile on their faces.

What do I do away from the surgery?  
When I am not working, I love nothing more than spending time with my family. I have two beautiful daughters, Zaara and Nuha. I also love gardening and growing my own vegetables so always happy to chat with other fond gardeners and gain any tips and tricks!

Jane Kateregga

podiatrist

I am Jane, your podiatrist at Longwood Foot clinic. I qualified from University of East London with a bachelors of science honours degree in Podiatric Medicine. I am a HCPC Registered podiatrist and also a member of the Royal College of Podiatry. I first worked as a Health Care Assistant in the NHS and as a Support Worker in the community, where I noticed how often people neglected their foot health. This inspired me to train as a Foot Health Practitioner, and through my diploma and further CPD, I gained a strong understanding of how important healthy feet are to overall wellbeing.

I loved providing foot care, advice, and support to patients, and seeing the difference it made. Over time, I realised I wanted to take my skills further, which led me to pursue a degree in Podiatry.

My clinical experience and training have helped me build the knowledge, confidence, and compassion needed to support patients effectively. I enjoy working one-to-one with people, listening to their concerns, and helping them achieve better comfort, mobility, and quality of life.

Onyeka

podiatrist

Hi, I’m Onyeka, one of the podiatrists at Longwood Foot Clinic.
I qualified from the University of East London with a BSc in Podiatric Medicine, and I’m HCPC registered, as well as a member of the Royal College of Podiatry.
I genuinely enjoy being a podiatrist. What I love most is seeing how small changes can make a real difference, relieving pain, improving movement, and helping people get back to doing the things they enjoy. No two patients are the same, and I really value taking the time to understand each person and their concerns.

When I’m not in the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, making time to unwind and recharge. I find this balance helps me bring energy, focus, and care to every patient I see.

For me, good podiatry is about combining clinical knowledge with a personal, caring approach. I want every patient to feel comfortable, listened to, and confident in their care.

Afsana

podiatrist

I am Afsana, a podiatry graduate from the University of East London (2025). Caring for others has always been second nature to me, having been a young carer and consistently working with vulnerable individuals throughout my life. This background has shaped my compassionate, patient-centred approach and naturally led me to a career in podiatry.

I have a genuine passion for foot health, with Nail Surgery being my favourite area of clinical practice. I also have a growing interest in Rheumatology and hope to pursue higher education in this field to broaden the scope of care I can offer my patients.

Outside of practice, I enjoy DIY projects, supporting family and friends with home improvements, and organising spaces. I am an avid gardener and value spending time outdoors, particularly in natural landscapes, which I find both grounding and inspiring.

Manjit Kaur

Receptionist

I’m Manjit, the Front of House at Longwood Foot Clinic, and I joined the team in 2021. Originally from Birmingham, I moved to London in 1987 after getting married and have built a strong career as a customer service advisor  ever since. With over 17 years’ experience as a Customer Advisor, I bring a wealth of knowledge, professionalism, and care to my role.

The part of my job I enjoy most is providing excellent care and outstanding customer service to every patient, which I consider the highlight of my role.

Outside of work, I love spending quality time with my family, especially my grandsons. I enjoy days out with them whenever I can and value making the most of family time.

Tara

Receptionist

My Name is Tara. Originally from Ireland and moved to London 22 years ago after I finished Beauty College. I’m married and a mum of two. We love the outdoors and long walks after my favourite.
