Matthew Cichero

Mr Cichero is a Consultant Podiatric Surgeon from Great Western Hospital, Swindon, UK, dual qualified in podiatric surgery both in Australia and the UK. In parallel with expertise in elective foot and ankle surgery, he has developed expertise in diabetic and high-risk foot disease and all elements of limb preservation management in Singapore, Australia, UK and also rotations in the US.

He has published a number of peer reviewed articles and is a Principle Investigator in Swindon for the SOLARIO antibiotic trial.

He has held positions on the Queensland Podiatry Registration Board, Australia, before it merged into the national registration board, APRHA. Prior to moving to the United Kingdom to complete his surgical training, Matthew also undertook monthly clinics for remote indigenous Australian Communities in the Northern Territory.

Matthew was elected to the Council of the Royal College in 2019, stepping down in 2023, and is Chair of the Medicines and Medical Devices Committee.

If he wasn’t a podiatric surgeon, he’d probably be surfing long-boards around the world, and designing Alfa Romeo cars while sipping on macchiatos around Italy with his wife and his three daughters (but no boyfriends allowed).
