Let’s meet Tristan Padachie
I have qualified in the field of Medical Orthotics and Prosthetics in 2018 at the Tshwane University of Technology(TUT). I have worked in Government centres like Wentworth hospital (Kwazulu Natal) and Pinelands (Western Cape). During my time in the Government sector I obtained the necessary knowledge, skill set and feedback during the outreach clinics in the rehabilitation process of patients overcoming the odds that they were up against. I have gained a lot of experience during these times but I still have the appetite to learn more and take every day as an opportunity to expand my outlook.
My passion for this field is defined by the joy my patients feel more confident in themselves and vanquish the doubt of difficulty. To me one of the most exhilarating experiences is helping a patient who never thought they would walk again to be able to take those steps independently and thereby improving quality of life.
