If their last appointment with us was longer than 12 weeks ago and you need to see an Orthotist again.
Your child may need to bring shorts to the appointment to allow the Orthotist to do a full biomechanical assessment and allow for casting/scanning/measuring if required.
If you fail to attend any appointment without telling us in advance, or if you cancel at short notice (i.e. less than 24 hours) on more than two occasions, we will remove you from our list and write to your doctor. This is in line with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s Did Not Attend and Cancellation Policy.
If you wish to cancel or reschedule any appointment please telephone 0800 592087 with as much notice as possible.
You can contact us Monday to Friday 8.00am – 8.00pm and on a Saturday 9.00am – 1.00pm excluding Public holidays.
If your child has already been assessed for an Orthosis, the next appointment will be to have this fitted. They may need more than one fitting appointment.
This appointment will be arranged by the Orthotist before you leave your first appointment.
Review appointment
The Orthotist may have already booked a review appointment for your child before you leave your fitting appointment if they feel they need to check on their progress with what they have given you. This can be in person or by telephone.
If they have no future appointment booked and are having problems with their Orthotic device within 12 weeks of seeing the Orthotist you can call us on 0800 592087 to arrange a review.
Please bring the Orthotic device to the appointment with you for review so we can see what the problem is. We won’t start any new treatment until we can check the problem with the old device.
If you miss a review appointment, no further appointments will be arranged unless requested by yourself.
