Blatchford has been the Orthotic Service Provider for Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, and The Royal Orthopaedic NHS Foundation Trust, since 2013.
The service offers clinics onsite at Birmingham Children's Hospital and in 5 community clinics.
We regularly work in an MDT setting both in all community clinics, and specialist spina bidifa and spinal injury clinic, where we assess, measure and prescribe RGOs and Parawalkers.

We accept referrals for children from the ages of birth to 16; we can continue to provide care up to 18 if there is a complex need or the child is under a current BCH consultant. Referrals can come from medical professionals and AHPs if band 7 or over. We do not accept self-referrals or referrals from education staff directly.
We accept referrals for children across the Greater Birmingham area. For general orthotics care we may ask for referrals to be redirected to a local service if this is more suitable. Referrals for specialist care for complex treatment or devices from a wider area will be considered.
Spinal care: We offer treatment for post operative and traumatic spinal care. Referrals for the management of scoliosis or spinal deformities should be directed to the orthotics team at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital: roh.orthotics@nhs.net
Community clinics are provided in collaboration with Birmingham Community Healthcare Foundation Trust and Sandwell and West Birmingham Foundation Trust. These provide MDT input between community physiotherapy and orthotics and are provided at school sites across the city. Children need to be under both community physiotherapy and orthotics teams to access these.
