Orthotics
Orthotics Across Furness General Hospital, Westmoreland General Hospital and Royal Lancaster Infirmary, we provide a range of services involving orthotic treatment. This includes diabetic foot management services, where we regularly assist the podiatry teams to manage vulnerable feet, joint multidisciplinary paediatric orthopaedic clinics, where on a weekly basis we join Paediatric Consultants to assess children with a wide range of condition, including developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), CTEV or “clubfoot”. We also see adults and children for leg length discrepancies, foot and lower leg deformities, joint pains and gait issues.
Referral process
How do I access treatment?
In order to be seen by your local Orthotic service, we require a referral, either electronic or written, from a recognised healthcare professional with details as to what the orthotic goal from their referral is. For example, this could be a GP, Physiotherapist, Consultant or Podiatrist. We then triage all referrals for an appointment with an Orthotist. This could be as an inpatient on one of our hospital sites, or as an outpatient.
