The Prosthetic Rehabilitation Unit provides a service to people who have undergone amputation, those who may need an amputation and those (mainly children) with congenital limb loss.

The service is for life and includes the provision, maintenance and repair of artificial limbs together with a rehabilitation service provided by a multidisciplinary team.

The centre is one of 44 in the UK with people accessing the service from a wide geographical area.

The multidisciplinary team includes:

  • Consultants in Rehabilitation Medicine - Dr Imad Sedki, Richard Francis

  • Technicians and clinical technicians
  • Rehabilitation engineer
  • Physiotherapists
  • Occupational therapists
  • Clinical psychologist
