We have Allied Health Professionals (AHP’s), Occupational Therapists, an Orthotist, a Clinical Orthotics Technician, an Apprentice Orthotist and two administrators. The emphasis is on "self-help" where possible, aiming to keep patients out of medically prescribed footwear and orthotic devices.

We expect contractor/s who work with us to provide orthotic devices of the highest quality and who share our core trust values.
