Paul Burrows
Podiatrist
Paul Burrows is a registered Podiatrist. His Bachelor’s degree was attained in 1993 from QUT in Brisbane. Early in his career was spent in private practice in regional Queensland where practice consisted of general Podiatry, biomechanics, Diabetes-related foot care and nail surgery.
Paul’s first exposure to Community-based Podiatry services commenced in Bundaberg and surrounding rural towns. Upon return to Brisbane in 2005 Paul remained in the community organisation where he quickly commenced building a strong, cohesive multi-disciplinary team of Clinicians focused on evidence-based care to achieve the best outcomes possible for Clients.
Working with the Redcliffe Nurse Manager a successful and Nationally presented wound clinic was established using the principles of multi-disciplinary Wound Management. This clinic also maintained a strong vision of education and support for all Clinical Staff with a regular rotation of the
Nursing and Allied Health Team members to expand clinical knowledge on Wound Management. In 2014 what would become an Internationally recognised multi-disciplinary wound clinic commenced at the University of the Sunshine Coast.
Paul was the Podiatrist in this very experienced team of wound clinicians including Principal clinician and Total Wound Solutions founder, Alison Vallejo (PhD, Credentialed Wound Clinician) and Allied Health specialists in Dietetics.
This team introduced world-first technology to the Sunshine Coast and surroundings using an Advanced Wound Technology – Low-Frequency Ultrasonic Debridement (LFUD) to Clients with chronic wounds.
Paul’s extensive experience with wound debridement translated to this new technology that enables debridement and cleansing of the wound unparalleled by any other technique. This technique has been widely successful and my colleague, Alison, has completed her PhD with this LFUD technology as the focus.
Paul has been practising wound-specific Podiatry for well over 10 years all of these in multi- disciplinary wound clinics.
It is with this same focus that he joins with Alison’s Total Wound Solutions team. For wound healing no statement is more appropriate than - “It takes a Team to heal a Wound”.
