Ainslie also had teaching responsibilities with QUT podiatry students over 8 years and concluded through teaching at UWS-online through the COVID pandemic.

Ainslie has a keen interest in the high risk foot, which includes diabetes, neuropathy and rheumatoid foot conditions. Ainslie is currently a PhD candidate through QUT with a research topic on ‘Improving the screening for diabetes related peripheral neuropathy.’ The best thing about podiatry is “just helping people on a one to one basis. I like the way podiatry goes from diagnosing and assessing through to treatment for foot and leg problems.”
