What We Do

Podiatrists at Alexandra Hospital are highly trained healthcare professionals dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the foot and ankle. Our team of podiatrists provide comprehensive foot health services for both inpatients and outpatients.

Our podiatrists work closely with patients and other healthcare professionals to provide personalised care and treatment plans. We are committed to improving our patients' quality of life by addressing foot and lower limb issues that affect mobility and comfort.

Career Pathway of a Podiatrist

Becoming a Podiatrist in Singapore

Podiatrists use their clinical expertise to diagnose, treat, and manage conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs – a growing area of need in Singapore’s ageing population and rising prevalence of diabetes. They also help patients to manage pain, improve mobility, and maintain an active lifestyle.

Podiatrists also play a key role in the ecosystem of Singapore’s healthcare, working closely with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to provide care for patients with diabetes, sports injuries, and other mobility-related conditions. 

For individuals interested in becoming podiatrists in Singapore, you will need a bachelor's degree in podiatry from a recognised tertiary institution overseas such as in countries like Australia or the United Kingdom, as there are currently no local universities offering this course.

Meet Our Podiatrist, Samuel Cheong 

Working at Alexandra Hospital has genuinely been one of the highlights of my career. I love being here not just for the work I do, but for the environment that surrounds me every day. This place has a way of bringing out the best in people. There’s a real warmth and a sense of community and camaraderie that makes coming to work feel meaningful. You feel supported, encouraged, and constantly reminded that what you do matters. 

What inspires me most is how the organisation lives its mission and values every day. Here, we’re more than colleagues – we’re a team committed to care, excellence and sincerity. Everyone from colleagues to leaders shows up with heart. Every small effort, every kind act, feels like part of a bigger purpose. 

I enjoy coming to work knowing that I belong to something greater. The culture here encourages me to grow, stay grounded, and contribute in meaningful ways. It is a workplace that leaves a positive mark in you and I’m glad to be part of Alexandra Hospital.
