Orthotics referrals

exp date isn't null, but text field is

The Orthotics Referral Form should be completed and emailed to orthotics@ggc.scot.nhs.uk.

All inpatient and urgent referrals will be triaged as soon as possible.  All routine referrals are triaged once a week and allocated appointments appropriately.  Provision of accurate contact details assists resolution on any queries/issues that arise in triaging.

Health staff referral to the Paediatric Orthotic Service should preferably be done through Trakcare (See info below)
