Since the call to action, UK Orthotic product companies, service providers, hospital clinics and individual orthotists have been making significant donations of orthotic/orthopaedic braces and supports to the #OrthoticsToUkraine campaign. This has been heart-warming and a reflection on the tight knit family our industry is here in the UK.
Speaking with our Ukrainian clinical friends, I am also pleased to confirm that these products are now widely distributed within the country and being applied to patients on a daily basis.
However, the conflict is intensifying and the need for such goods is growing all the time. As such, I just wanted to reinforce the message that all unwanted orthotics in reasonable condition are appreciated and for as long as I am receiving donations and there is a need, I will continue to facilitate shipments to Ukraine.
If you would like to contact me, please email clive@braceorthopaedic.co.uk
Please spread the word and let’s keep this going.
