About
Andrew qualified in 1998 from the University of Strathclyde with honours in Prosthetics and Orthotics.
After a brief spell working in Portsmouth he moved to the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford and is now the Clinical Lead Orthotist of one of the largest orthotic departments in England.
In 2012 he obtained an MSc in Applied Biomechanics and he has lectured on the design of ankle and foot orthoses at regional and national conferences.
Andrew specialises in gait analysis, having provided orthotic opinion for the Oxford Gait Laboratory and has undertaken training from the European Society for Movement Analysis in Children (ESMAC).
He also specialises in custom-made orthotics that maximise support yet minimise bulk and encumbrance. He has close links with orthopaedic, sports injury and rheumatology consultants, as well as physiotherapists and GPs.
Andrew sees adults and children aged 4 years and older.
