Meet the Team

Suvanne Southgate

HCPC registered 

I have been a qualified podiatrist for 24+ years. I graduated from Northampton School of Podiatry in 2000 with an upper 2:1 degree following a successful 11 year career in the RAF. These days I am a keen golfer (time permitting) but previously I enjoyed playing hockey to a high standard, playing National League Indoor Hockey and RAF, Combined Services Hockey and ran the London Marathon in 2005.  I enjoyed most sports and this provided the basis for my interest in biomechanics. I completed my Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Podiatric Biomechanics from Stafford University in 2003.

I have worked in both the NHS and a multi-disciplinary practice specialising in biomechanics. I was also the Podiatrist to Ipswich Town Football Club for 8 years. I am now in private practice in Cambridge. I worked in the NHS as a Wound Care Specialist for 7 years in a part time capacity for the North East London Foundation Trust. 

I am a member of the College of Podiatry and registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC), our professional body which ensures standards are met and also that we have maintained a programme of Continued Professional Development (CPD).

* Family and social time. I try to keep a balance between working and leisure, prioritising familiar and social life. Meeting with my family and friends and cooking for them is very precious for me.

* I personally think marketing is really important to achieve customers flow. But the most important thing is making my patients feel comfortable and trying to offer them an exceptional podiatric experience. Then, the word of mouth will boost everything

* I adore simple things. As I like saying, I will not be rich in money, but I will be prosperous in life experiences

Morgane De Salvage

HCPC registered

Morgane was born and raised in central France and has lived in England since 2009, moving to Cambridge ten years later to start her career in podiatry.

Morgane graduated with a First Class degree from the University of Northampton. She has over four years of experience working alongside patients with diabetes and other high-risk conditions in the NHS, as well as assisting in podiatric surgery. Morgane has an interest in vascular podiatry and dermatology, and enjoys nail surgery the most.
As a member of the Royal College of Podiatry, she adheres to their Equality and Diversity policies and takes part in regular CPD (continued professional development) in various topics.

In her spare time, Morgane enjoys cycling and gym classes, as well as reading murder mystery novels. She also really loves cheese (don’t we all!) and experimental cooking, i.e. ignoring recipes and seeing where it goes (it does not always work out). Morgane lives in Cambridge with her partner and cat, Bonnie.

Yasamin Salamat

HCPC registered

Yasamin is a dedicated podiatrist with over ten years of experience, having graduated from the University of East London in 2011. She started her career in the NHS, focusing on diabetes and wound care, and then spent a decade specialising in musculoskeletal (MSK) podiatry across two NHS Trusts.

In 2020, Yasamin decided to dive deeper into her field by completing a Master’s in Clinical Biomechanics at Staffordshire University. There, she gained valuable experience in gait analysis and sports injuries and worked on a research project about what drives recreational runners to choose certain running shoes—a subject that’s close to her heart and central to her approach today.

Since moving to private practice, Yasamin has been dedicated to offering personalised, down-to-earth care for each patient. She loves mystery dramas and sees every symptom as a clue to solve, helping her uncover the bigger picture in each case.

Outside of work, Yasamin enjoys traveling, spending time with her family, cooking up delicious meals, gardening, and even knitting!

Jon Southgate

Practice Manager

Jon has had a privileged career to date. Originally cabinet maker trained, he went on to run his own business, including antique restoration. Alongside this he became a part-time firefighter in Ipswich for 2 ½ years. This led Jon to join Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service full-time in 1988, where he enjoyed a 30-year career. By the time of his retirement in 2018, he was Deputy Divisional Commander responsible for around 120 staff across 6 fire stations.

Jon then became a Quality Assurance inspector of providers of Special Educational needs for Suffolk children and young people, which was incredibly rewarding. He then took on the role of the Business Continuity Manager for Suffolk County Council, just as the UK went into lockdown. So, this was an unprecedented time to look after the residents of Suffolk.

Jon is a keen motorcyclist, having competed in motocross in his younger days and he is planning a return to the track in 2024. He loves all things DIY, history, walking, golf, cooking, and eating good food too!

Jon volunteers for Suffolk Lowland Search & Rescue – searching for missing vulnerable people across Suffolk at any time of the day or night and also teaches motorcycle safety courses for Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service.

Jon is proud to be the husband of Suvanne, the owner and senior podiatrist at Cutting Edge Podiatry as Practice Manager. He is also undertaking his Foot Health Practitioner diploma, so he will be able to help out with routine foot care at the clinic. He looks forward to meeting you one day.

Annette was born and bred in Cambridge, which she is very grateful for as she loves this wonderful city; “I’m very fortunate to come from a large family who all still live locally, and we see each other a lot,” says Annette, “Family, friends, love and laughter mean everything to me!”

In her younger years, Annette was a Fitness Instructor and still holds a keen interest in the health and fitness industry. Annette also worked in accounts positions for several years and as a receptionist at a busy hair salon.

Annette is a self-confessed chatterbox who loves to socialise, and one of her favourite pastimes is taking long walks listening to audible. She is a huge fan of ASMR and loves a good TV box set. She also enjoys watching tennis and rugby.
