We shared our expertise in product selection for best patient outcomes, with both the Product Evaluation Group (PEG, Orthotics) and Clinical Support Group (CSG, Prosthetics) presenting. Steeper Orthotist and PEG Leader, Laura Wilson, said "To be invited to present the Function and Methods of the Product Evaluation Group at Eqwal's Excellence in Motion Conference was extremely exciting, if not a little intimidating. It was a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate the work that we do to an external audience, interest in which was high! The connections we made with new suppliers are going to enhance our work going forward, ultimately enabling our clinicians to gain further insight and guidance into the world of stock orthoses."
"It was a very welcoming conference with professional networking and social interaction encouraged throughout the three days, really bringing us together as a team for the first time. The plenary speakers were insightful, inspirational and incredibly varied. The workshops also provided an opportunity to find out more from our partner brands about their services and products that are new to the market."
We also shared with Eqwal partner organisations about 3D printing insoles for a National Health marketplace and running a Craniosynostosis service. Our upper limb experts showcased the capabilities of the Myoelectric System and Espire Elbow, with user Jim Ashworth-Beaumont also attending to give his view on the Espire Pro. Alongside Jim, Brian McLaughlin demonstrated the elbow’s ease of set-up through the Espire Hub App software in a more in-depth workshop.
A further workshop provided attendees with the opportunity to discover Steeper Custom Silicone Solutions and the prescription process. The BASIS clinical study on nighttime spinal bracing was also presented to clinicians in the plenary programme.
The sharing of new and innovative ideas was complimented by multitudes of tried and tested industry techniques from every corner of the globe - an invaluable perspective gained through the unique gathering of Eqwal's many trusted partners and brands.
