Meryl Lloyd

Podiatrist

Since graduating as a podiatrist in 2023, I have worked for the national health service in the monitoring and prevention of patients at risk of foot ulcerations and amputations. I have experience in working with those who have diabetes, vascular disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Naturally, as a keen sportsperson - I have a keen interest in musculoskeletal podiatry, especially sporting injuries and rehabilitation. I’m passionate about educating patients on foot health and how maintaining a healthy lifestyle can benefit this.

I joined Acorn Sports Podiatry in 2024 to offer a wide scope of podiatry within a multidisciplinary health clinic. I work in the Penarth and Bridgend branch. Welsh is my first language and I’m proud to be able to offer bilingual podiatry services.
