The Orthotics service provides devices called orthoses (also called braces and splints) to help prevent, correct, or accommodate a deformity and/or improve function. This can be due to an injury, a disorder, or the way our bodies change as we get older.
We are an ‘in house’ service directly employing our own NHS HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) registered Orthotists.
The Orthotic Service provides both inpatient and outpatient services across New Cross Hospital, West Park Hospital, Cannock Chase Hospital, and the Gem Centre for Children. The Team also has links with community-based therapists.
The Orthotics service accepts referrals from your GP, or from one of our consultants, nursing colleagues, or allied health professionals.
