largely helpless.&nbsp;Like many others I am finding it hard to focus on day-to-day work whilst watching this humanitarian crisis unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has been humbling to see the response of those countries bordering Ukraine and the way in which they are responding to the needs of tens of thousands of refugees. &nbsp;Offering shelter, food, both medical and psychological help, as well as transport to accommodation in ordinary people\u2019s homes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a practical level it was apparent Ukraine would have a need for all medical related products and of course medical devices.&nbsp;I have utilised my European network to make contact with a major hospital in Ukraine and they have confirmed they need all forms of trauma related orthopaedic braces, splints and supports for all body parts.&nbsp;These products can be taken to Poland and handed over for onward transportation to Ukraine.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am putting together a contribution of those relevant trauma related products in the Brace Orthopaedic portfolio, but can also facilitate donations from those within our UK Orthotics industry who wish to contribute appropriate devices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can help and have products you can offer, please direct message me at:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:clive@braceorthopaedic.co.uk\">clive@braceorthopaedic.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share
