They provide pre-operative assessment of those facing prospective major limb amputation, inpatient rehabilitation, management and treatment of allpatients following acute amputation, support to colleagues in managing inpatients with a previous amputation, and discharge planning.

Additionally we provide regular outpatient rehabilitation and follow-up treatment to prospective prosthetic limb users, outpatient reviews of previous prosthesis users, and domiciliary visits.
