Referral process

How do I access treatment?

Patients are referred to the service by hospital surgical teams after amputation. GPs and other healthcare professionals can also refer patients to us. Once you have been referred to us, you will be assessed by our team. If you are given an artificial limb, you will remain our patient for as long as you wear the limb.

Our service includes providing, maintaining, and repairing artificial limbs. You can ring us to make an appointment to see your Prosthetist or any other member of the team whenever you need to. Patients should make an appointment once a year to have the prosthesis checked.
