Tel: 085 154 3398 Email: info@amputee.ie Web: www.amputee.ie
Aims to provide a holistic, best practice support system for all amputees in
Ireland. Empowers amputees to achieve independence, participation, and
social and occupational integration in the life of the community. Provides a
range of services to amputees, staffed by volunteers, including peer-to-peer
counselling, information and advice. Amputee.ie believes in the following:
amputees in Ireland should be entitled to free prostheses; centres of
excellence should be established to provide multi-disciplinary rehabilitation
centres accessible to all amputees; funding should be made available for the
provision of a support and information service to people before, during and
after amputation.
