Orthotics are medical and surgical devices to aid rehabilitation including orthopaedic footwear, insoles and braces.
Patients are referred by a consultant (we do not accept GP referrals).
If you have not attended the department within the past year, you will be discharged and a GP letter will be required to confirm your condition has not changed.
Following any surgery or changes to your condition, a further review by a consultant will be required.
