Clinical Support Technician Service

This service is available to patients who have technical problems with their prosthesis, and it can allow the patient to be seen in clinic sooner. However, if the problem is related to socket fit/comfort, alignment or prescription the patient needs to make an appointment with their Prosthetist.

15.06.10: New Centre Manager

Debbie Peebles has recently joined the team at Addenbrooke's Rehabilitation Clinic as the Prosthetic/Orthotic Manager.

A message from Debbie: 'I graduated in 1999 from The University of Strathclyde and began my career dual practising for an independent company in Dublin.  In 2002 I moved to England and became a full time Orthotist working for a commercial company in the South East. During this time I developed a special interest in treating adults and children with neurological conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, HMSN and Stroke. I am delighted to join the opcare team and to be working at Addenbrooke's Rehabilitation Clinic.'

 

Centre Information

The opcare clinical team in Cambridge is made up of 3 Orthotists, 2 Prosthetists and 2 dual practising Prosthetists/Orthotists, supported by 2 administrators and 6 technicians (including 1 clinical support technician). We are based in the outpatients department of Addenbrooke's Hospital. The service within Addenbrooke's is provided in partnership with our NHS colleagues. The multidisciplinary team includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy, a rehabilitation consultant and a nurse who can also provide counselling.

The centre runs Prosthetic and Orthotic clinics in Addenbrooke's, a satellite prosthetic clinic in Peterborough District Hospital on a weekly basis and an orthotic clinic at the Princes of Wales Hospital, Ely once a fortnight. 

The prosthetic service is used by approximately 1,000 patients from the surrounding area, covering upper and lower limb loss at all levels. The orthotic service cares for a wide range of patients, it runs clinics within the department and also contributes to multidisciplinary teams throughout the hospital. This includes a paediatric clinic, diabetic foot clinic, scoliosis clinic, neuro rehabiliation, and a foot and ankle clinic with the orthopaedic team.
