BAPO Chair Dr Nicky Eddison presented work in Singapore discussing the skills required for the 21st-century Prosthetists and Orthotists #Prosthetist #Orthotist
Prosthetists & orthotists are vital to the NHS, yet face skill gaps in trauma care, mental health, & public health. With 1 in 4 people 65+ expected to live with disability by 2025, closing these gaps is crucial. @OrthoticNetwork presented our work at #IAHC2024 in Singapore.
