Welcome to our Brighton NHS Clinic

Blatchford has been the Prosthetic and Orthotic provider at the Sussex Rehabilitation Centre in Brighton since 2017. We provide the prosthetic and orthotic services, working with the NHS. The service covers the whole of Sussex.

The purpose of the service is to enable patients with upper and lower limb loss to achieve and sustain maximum possible mobility, dexterity and independence.

A consultant led MDT (multidisciplinary team) offer prosthetic rehabilitation service to amputees and people with congenital limb loss. We provide services for all amputation levels (upper and lower),  adults and children.  In addition the centre deals with pain management, wound healing and health screening to prevent further limb loss. There is also counselling available on site. We will provide, manufacture and maintain your prosthesis and assist with  

We also provide orthotic (surgical) appliances to patients attending the clinics at the centre and an in-ward unit at the Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath. 

Referral Process

For prosthetic care, a referral would normally be made by your consultant. You may have physiotherapy at the Sussex Rehab Centre or your local hospital. For your prosthetic care you will be seen at the Sussex Rehabilitation centre and the MDT team (consultant, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, prosthetist) will assess you.

If you are moving to the area and wish to transfer your care here, please contact us and inform your existing centre.

For orthotic care, a consultant, GP or other healthcare professional would refer you specifically for the care of our consultants.
