Her clinical practice focuses on diagnosing and treating a wide range of foot and ankle problems, including arthritis, sports injuries, tendon problems, bunions, flat feet, high arches, and ankle instability. She also performs both traditional and minimally invasive surgical procedures, including ankle replacements and complex reconstructive surgery.
In addition to her clinical work, Miss Thomson is actively involved in education and training. She has developed an educational app for medical students and trainee surgeons, has served as an honorary lecturer at the University of Leicester, and is an examiner for the FRCS Orthopaedic Viva course.
