About Us
Hi, we are North East Amputee Support Group, or NE Amputee for short! After being involved in a devastating accident, and pursuing a legal claim, our founding member Dr Alison Broadbent was reflecting on her journey and where she felt improvements could be made.
It became apparent that there was a lack of support for amputees here in the North East and we wanted to do something about it and so, NE Amputee was born.
Our founding committee members are from a variety of backgrounds and all have experience of working with amputees. We hope that NE Amputee can grow and develop into a support network that is full of valuable insight, tips and advice for amputees and their families in the North East, and provide a sense of community for those on their amputation journey, at whatever stage they may be at.
Our mission is to foster a supportive network in the North East for amputees and their families.
We understand some discussions around amputation can be difficult.
Kindness is wonderful, it should fuel all of our thoughts, behaviours and interactions both with ourselves and others
